Watching Indian Channels / music

Hi All

Just wondering if anyone knows the most cost effective way to watch indian channels such as b4u music, zee, Sony.

Sky is about £20 a month, is there any service or TV app around £5 a month etc or even a Netflix type international hack as I don't need the additional channels sky include.

More interested in the mucic side if that helps, sa re ga ma, indian idol, b4u music etc

Many Thanks in Advance

    Netflix localises to where they see you being not where your billing address is. So access Netflix via a FireStick or such with a VPN to India will give you the Indian version of Netflix. 

    With their new rules on not password sharing not sure how this will work if you are doing it constantly, I do it only occasionally and never had a problem (but then my subscription is also not based in the UK as I signed up whilst on holiday - gave my UK address but they still bill me in that currency etc)

    The same VPN may open up other Indian services (free or paid for)

    There is also Yupp TV I believe but their website isnt working at the moment on my laptop
