Stop Paying for 5 Subscriptions. One COMSTEL TV Box Does It All.
Australian households and businesses are spending more than ever on fragmented streaming services — Netflix, Kayo, Foxtel, Disney+, Stan. Each one promises to be the last subscription you need. None of them ever is. The COMSTEL TV Box changes all of that. One compact device. 9,201+ live TV channels. 73,533+ on-demand movies. 4,336+ TV series. Content from over 100 countries. And a one-off price that makes every other option look embarrassingly expensive.
If you are like most Australian households, you are currently paying for at least three or four different streaming services. There is one for movies. Another for sport. One for the kids. One for the shows everyone is talking about at work. And despite paying for all of them, you still end up scrolling for 20 minutes before you find something to watch — or worse, switching between apps because the show you want is split across two different platforms.
This is what industry analysts call “subscription fatigue” — the growing frustration of paying more, managing more accounts, and feeling like you are getting less. According to market research, the average Australian streaming household now pays for more than three paid services simultaneously. Add up Netflix, Kayo, Foxtel Now, Disney+, and Stan, and you are looking at well over $90 per month before you have even turned on the television.
The COMSTEL TV Box was designed specifically to solve this problem. It is a single device that consolidates everything — live television, on-demand movies, series, sports, international content, kids' programming, and more — into one simple, affordable, plug-and-play experience.
"Why pay over $1,000 a year for fragmented streaming apps when one COMSTEL TV Box gives you everything — live sport, international channels, movies, and series — for a single upfront cost?"
What Is the COMSTEL TV Box?
The COMSTEL TV Box is a compact, high-performance digital streaming device built and supported by Comstel ICT — an Australian-owned technology company operating since 1992 and headquartered in North Sydney. It is not a generic Amazon import or an unbranded device shipped from overseas with no local support. It is a product backed by a real Australian business, with real Australian people you can call when you need help.
Technically, the COMSTEL TV Box is powered by a fast H616 quad-core processor, runs Android 10, and outputs video in stunning 6K and 4K Ultra HD resolution at 60 frames per second. It connects to any television via HDMI, supports both Wi-Fi and Ethernet, and requires no special internet package or private IP address to operate. If you have an NBN connection, 4G, 5G, or standard broadband, the COMSTEL TV Box will work perfectly right out of the box.
Because it runs on Android 10, it also gives you access to Google Play, meaning you can download additional apps — YouTube, Netflix, gaming apps, web browsers, email clients — alongside the core COMSTEL entertainment experience. It is, in the truest sense of the phrase, a smart TV for any television.
How the COMSTEL TV Box Works
The setup process is deliberately simple. There are no technicians required, no complicated configurations, and no waiting around for an installer to show up. Here is all it takes:
1
Plug In
Connect to your TV with the included HDMI cable and power it on.
2
Connect
Join your Wi-Fi or plug in via Ethernet. Works with any internet connection.
3
Activate
Open the COMSTEL app, enter your activation code. Done in under 2 minutes.
4
Watch
Select your country, choose a channel, and start watching in Ultra HD instantly.
The menu is clean and intuitive. You can browse by country, by category, by genre, or search for a specific channel or title. Favourites can be saved so your most-watched channels are always a single click away. The remote control is straightforward, and the box also supports a USB mouse and keyboard if you want more precise navigation — useful for families where different people use it in different ways.
9,201+ Channels — What Does That Actually Mean?
It is easy to throw out a big number like 9,201 channels and not really explain what that means in practice. So let us break it down by category:
Live Sport
This is where the COMSTEL TV Box absolutely shines for Australian audiences. Access live sport from across the globe — NRL, AFL, A-League, cricket, rugby union, tennis, Formula 1, NBA, Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, UFC, and much more. Major Australian sporting events are included, and international sport channels from the UK, USA, Europe, and Asia mean you will never miss a game regardless of which broadcaster holds the rights.
No more paying for Kayo just for sport. The COMSTEL TV Box has it covered.
News from Every Corner of the World
Stay informed with live news channels from Australia, the UK, the USA, the Middle East, Asia, Europe, and beyond. Watch Australian news alongside international networks, keeping you connected to what is happening both locally and globally in real time — not hours later through a catch-up service.
Kids & Family Programming
Dedicated kids' channels in multiple languages, covering cartoons, educational programs, animated series, and family movies. Familiar international favourites alongside local content, giving children a safe and entertaining environment without the need for a separate kids' subscription on top of everything else.
Music, Lifestyle & Entertainment
Music channels spanning every genre. Lifestyle content covering food, travel, home design, and wellness. Entertainment channels from dozens of countries covering comedy, drama, reality TV, and variety. The breadth of content available is remarkable — whatever your taste, the COMSTEL TV Box has a channel for it.
Religious & Cultural Channels
Australia is one of the most multicultural nations on earth. The COMSTEL TV Box reflects that, offering religious and cultural programming across a wide range of faiths and traditions — Christian, Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist, and more. This is content you simply cannot find on mainstream streaming platforms, making the COMSTEL TV Box especially valuable for communities that want programming that speaks to their culture and values.
Documentary & Educational
Hundreds of documentary and educational channels covering history, science, nature, technology, and current affairs. Whether you want to understand how ancient civilisations were built, follow wildlife in Africa, or explore the deepest parts of the ocean, the COMSTEL TV Box has documentary content that rivals any paid streaming platform.
Television from 100+ Countries — A World of Content on One Screen
One of the most powerful features of the COMSTEL TV Box is its global content reach. For Australians who come from other countries, or who simply want to watch television in another language, this is genuinely transformative. Here is a snapshot of the regions and countries covered:
Australia & Pacific
All major Australian free-to-air channels included. ABC, SBS, Nine, Seven, Ten, and their digital sub-channels. Plus New Zealand and Pacific island content for communities across the region.
United Kingdom & Europe
British channels including BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Sky Sports, and BT Sport equivalents. French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Eastern European channels covering entertainment, news, and sport in native languages.
United States & Americas
American networks including ESPN, CNN, Fox, NBC, ABC, CBS, and entertainment channels. South American channels in Spanish and Portuguese covering sport, telenovelas, news, and entertainment.
Asia
Indian channels in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Punjabi, and Bengali. Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Filipino, Thai, and Indonesian channels. A massive range of content for Australia's large and diverse Asian communities.
Middle East & Africa
Arabic, Farsi, Turkish, and Urdu channels for Middle Eastern communities. African channels in English, French, and local languages covering news, sport, and entertainment from across the continent.
And Many More
Greek, Polish, Russian, Romanian, Hungarian, Portuguese, Swahili, and dozens of other language channels are available. If there is a channel from your home country that you miss, chances are it is already in the COMSTEL TV Box library.
For multicultural Australian families, this is arguably the most important feature of all. The ability to watch television in your own language, stay connected to news from home, and share your culture's entertainment with your children — in Australia, on your own television, without a satellite dish or expensive international subscription — is genuinely extraordinary, and it is something no other single device at this price point delivers.
Limited Time Offer
COMSTEL TV Box — $249 (Was $299)
Includes box + 12 months full access + free delivery Australia-wide. After year one, just $10/month to keep content updated.
73,533+ Movies & 4,336+ Series — Your On-Demand Library
Beyond live television, the COMSTEL TV Box gives you access to an enormous on-demand library that dwarfs what most individual streaming services offer. With over 73,000 movies and more than 4,300 TV series available to watch whenever you choose, this is not a secondary feature — it is a full-scale video-on-demand platform built into the same device.
The library spans every genre you can think of:
Action & Thriller
Comedy & Drama
International Cinema
Sci-Fi & Fantasy
Documentaries
What makes the COMSTEL TV Box on-demand library particularly impressive is that it includes international cinema that most Western streaming platforms simply do not carry. Bollywood blockbusters, Korean dramas, Turkish series, Latin American telenovelas, French films, Japanese anime — all available without needing a specialist subscription or a region-restricted account.
And unlike a streaming platform that removes content when licensing deals expire, the COMSTEL TV Box content library is updated daily. New movies and series are added constantly, meaning there is always something fresh to watch no matter how much time you spend in front of the screen.
"73,533 movies. 4,336 TV series. Updated every single day. The COMSTEL TV Box on-demand library is larger than most individual streaming services — and it is included in the price of the box."

$10/mo after yr 1
$249 all-in (yr 1)
The numbers speak for themselves. Five streaming services cost you over $1,200 per year, and you still do not get international channels, multicultural content, or 9,000+ live channels. The COMSTEL TV Box costs $249 for the first year — everything included — and just $120 per year after that. That is a saving of over $1,000 in year one alone, and nearly the same every subsequent year.
The COMSTEL TV Box for Business: Engage Your Customers and Guests
The COMSTEL TV Box is not just for living rooms. It is engineered equally well for commercial environments — and given its multi-screen capability (meaning you can run multiple boxes simultaneously, each displaying different channels), it is an outstanding solution for any business that wants to keep customers engaged.
Pubs, Bars & Clubs
Stream live sport across every screen simultaneously. Show different games on different TVs at the same time. Keep sports fans entertained without paying for expensive commercial pay TV licences. The COMSTEL TV Box is compact, affordable, and easy to manage across multiple screens at once.
Hotels & Accommodation
Offer international guests access to television in their own language. With channels from over 100 countries, guests from anywhere in the world can find familiar content. It is the kind of thoughtful amenity that generates excellent reviews and return bookings — at a fraction of the cost of traditional hotel TV systems.
Gyms & Fitness Centres
Keep members motivated and entertained during their workouts. Separate COMSTEL TV Boxes on separate screens mean treadmill users can watch sport while cyclists watch music channels. Members stay longer, memberships are retained, and the entire setup costs a fraction of a traditional gym entertainment system.
Restaurants & Cafés
Ambient background television elevates the dining experience. Stream music channels, lifestyle content, or sports depending on your venue's vibe. International restaurants can show content from the relevant country, creating an immersive cultural experience for diners.
Waiting Rooms & Clinics
Waiting is more tolerable when there is something engaging on screen. Medical clinics, dental surgeries, and other professional waiting areas benefit enormously from having quality, varied content available. News, lifestyle, or family channels create a calm and welcoming atmosphere for patients.
Offices & Boardrooms
Stream live news and financial channels in common areas, breakrooms, and lobbies. Keep your team informed and engaged with real-time information from around the world. The COMSTEL TV Box is compact enough to sit behind any screen and costs far less than a corporate entertainment system.
The Technology Behind the COMSTEL TV Box
It is worth understanding what makes the COMSTEL TV Box perform as well as it does, because the hardware choices behind it are what deliver the smooth, buffer-free viewing experience Comstel customers report.
At its core is the H616 quad-core processor — a powerful chip purpose-built for media processing. This is what allows the COMSTEL TV Box to decode 6K and 4K video streams at 60 frames per second without lag, stuttering, or overheating. Combined with hardware video decoding support for H.265 (HEVC), H.264, MPEG1, MPEG2, and MPEG4, the device handles virtually every modern video format without breaking a sweat.
Android 10 is the operating system — and this matters more than it might initially seem. Android 10 is a mature, stable, and widely supported platform. It means the COMSTEL TV Box benefits from years of development, a huge app ecosystem via Google Play, and long-term compatibility with new apps and services as they emerge. It is the same operating system platform trusted by billions of devices worldwide.
Connectivity is comprehensive: Wi-Fi, Ethernet, USB 2.0, and HDMI are all included. For the best possible streaming experience, a wired Ethernet connection is recommended — but Wi-Fi works perfectly well for most households. The box also supports Bluetooth for external peripherals, and the USB port allows connection of external storage, keyboards, or a mouse for more comfortable navigation on a large screen.
Getting the Best Experience from Your COMSTEL TV Box
Here are a few tips to make sure you get the most out of your device from day one:
Use Ethernet When Possible
A wired Ethernet connection delivers the most stable streaming experience, particularly for 4K and 6K content. If your TV is near your router, plug in directly. If not, a powerline adapter can help deliver a stable connection across your home or venue without running cables through walls.
Save Your Favourite Channels
With over 9,000 channels available, the favourites feature is your best friend. Take a few minutes when you first set up the box to browse through the categories, find the channels your household watches most, and add them to your favourites list. You will never need to scroll through the full library again.
Download the Google Play Apps You Need
Because the COMSTEL TV Box runs Android 10, you have full access to Google Play. If there are specific apps your household uses — YouTube, Netflix, a VPN, or a weather app — download them directly onto the box so everything lives in one place on one device.
Call Us If You Need Help
The Comstel ICT team is available on 1300 070 747 during business hours. Whether you have a question about setup, want to know more about a specific channel, or need troubleshooting support, a real Australian person will answer. No chatbots. No waiting 48 hours for an email response.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a special internet plan to use the COMSTEL TV Box?
No. The COMSTEL TV Box works with any standard internet connection — NBN, 4G, 5G, or regular broadband. It does not require a static IP address or any special configuration from your internet provider. A minimum speed of around 10 Mbps is recommended for smooth HD streaming, and 25 Mbps or more for 4K content.
What happens after the first 12 months?
After your first 12 months of included access, you simply subscribe for $10 per month to keep receiving daily content updates. The box itself is yours to keep forever. There are no lock-in contracts — the subscription is month-to-month and can be cancelled at any time.
Can I use the COMSTEL TV Box on multiple TVs?
Yes. Each COMSTEL TV Box connects to one television, but you can purchase additional boxes for additional screens. Each box operates independently, meaning different people in different rooms — or different screens in a commercial venue — can watch entirely different channels at the same time.

The COMSTEL TV Box is sold and supported by Comstel ICT, an Australian-registered business operating since 1992.
