StarShare viewing guide: Australia
Plan the language, programme identity, local time and device questions for your Australia viewing enquiry.
Choose the state feed before checking its clock
ABC’s own live-stream guidance distinguishes its state streams for local news. That makes the state edition a useful part of an Australian enquiry, alongside the actual programme. Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth have separate IANA location records, so one country-wide guide adjustment is insufficient. Give the viewing city and date, then compare the right state programme with its local schedule. This is guidance about identifying feeds, not evidence of StarShare carriage.
Name the track you need.
Language references for Australia include the names below. Tell support which ones describe your actual dialogue, subtitle or guide requirement. These are language references, not a guarantee of the available tracks on a particular source.
Keep these choices separate.
- Exact programme, channel/feed or title edition.
- Spoken audio and subtitles, stated independently.
- Viewing city and the programme’s date.
- Actual device model, operating system and player.
A capital reference is Canberra. Use your actual viewing location rather than assuming every resident follows the capital’s setup.

The table converts 7 November 2026 at 18:00 UTC using IANA 2026f. Location records are not a count of distinct current offsets. Seasonal rules can change the conversion on another date.

Use a name and edition.
These identifying broadcaster references can help name a viewing question for Australia. A mark does not establish current StarShare carriage or membership in a broadcaster’s separate service.
