For many Apollo Group TV customers, international channels are the main reason to subscribe. Whether you’ve moved abroad, grew up with two languages at home or simply love TV from other countries, the international section groups channels by country and language so you can find what you’re looking for.
How international channels are organised
Channels are listed by country or region, for example:
- Arabic channels from across the Middle East and North Africa.
- European channels from countries such as the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Poland and Turkey.
- Asian channels in languages including Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi, Tamil, Chinese and Filipino.
- African channels from West, East and Southern Africa.
- Latin American channels in Spanish and Portuguese.
Each country group usually includes news, entertainment, sport and kids channels from that country.
Time zones and the TV guide
International channels broadcast on their home country’s schedule. The TV guide converts those schedules into your device’s time zone, so a prime-time show from another continent might appear in the morning or late at night for you. On supported channels, catch-up TV lets you watch it at a better time.
If the TV guide looks shifted by a few hours, check the time zone setting on your device and in your app. That fixes most guide timing issues.
Language and subtitles
International channels are usually broadcast in their original language. Some channels and many on-demand titles offer subtitles or alternative audio tracks, which you can choose from the player menu.
Checking a specific channel
Lineups change over time, and some channels are only available at certain times or in certain qualities. If you’re subscribing for a particular country or channel, contact us first and we’ll confirm what’s currently available.
