More Telugu IPTV, Keep Up With Andhra Pradesh, Telangana & Home

Star Maa runs a new Bigg Boss Telugu season every autumn, usually starting in early September and ending in mid-December. The host's weekend episodes are the ones people talk about on Monday, and they air on Saturday and Sunday evening in India, which is Saturday and Sunday morning in North America.

Weeknight episodes land in the middle of the American workday, so most NRI viewers watch them from the 7-day catch-up library that evening. In the UK the same episodes finish before dinner, so you can usually watch them live.

When Andhra Pradesh was divided in 2014, ETV's Telugu news channel was renamed ETV Andhra Pradesh and a separate ETV Telangana channel was set up alongside it. Each now covers its own state's assembly, districts and local issues, so choose the one for the side of the border your family is from.

On election-results days, counting coverage starts early in the morning India time. In North America the first trends arrive late the previous evening and results keep coming in overnight, and catch-up has the full day if you sleep through it.

Star Maa Gold leans on older Telugu films, which makes it the channel grandparents tend to keep on. Sun Gemini Movies and ETV Cinema dig into long back catalogues too. Star Maa Movies and Zee Cinemalu focus more on recent star vehicles and Telugu-dubbed hits from other industries.

Sankranti in January is Tollywood's biggest cinema season, and those films usually reach TV months later as heavily promoted world premieres. If a premiere lands at an awkward hour for you, the replay waits in catch-up for seven days.

Yes. West Coast fans usually replay the early game from catch-up after they wake up, then join the evening match live at 7:00 AM Pacific. On the East Coast, the evening game fits a late-morning weekend.

The IPL usually runs from late March to late May or early June. US clocks change in early March and UK clocks in late March, so a match played before the UK change starts an hour earlier there than shown above. Other tournaments appear on these channels throughout the year; the on-screen guide lists what's coming.

Tirumala's rituals start well before dawn in India, and that is the previous afternoon or evening across the United States and Canada. Families who want darshan with their evening prayers can often watch SVBC live instead of a recording.

UK viewers get those early sevas late at night, so it's easier to catch the daytime and evening programmes live and pick up the morning rituals from catch-up.
