Net TV in Nepal (2026): NetTV App, Login, Packages and TV Setup
Short answer: Net TV (NetTV) is a Nepali streaming service from NETTV Pvt. Ltd., with an official OTT licence, 200+ channels, 7-day catch-up and movies, on its app, its website and a WorldLink set-top box. Get the official NetTV app from Google Play or the App Store, where the publisher is NETTV PVT. LTD. WorldLink customers sign in with their customer login password, not the WiFi password. NetTV is also the official online stream of NPL 2026 (up to Rs 400 in Nepal), and the "Live NetTV" APK has nothing to do with it.

What Net TV is, and why everyone is searching for it
Net TV (the company writes it NETTV or NetTV) is a Nepali TV streaming service run by NETTV Pvt. Ltd. of Lalitpur. It launched in 2017 and says it was Nepal's first IPTV service (Onlinekhabar). WorldLink is an investor (Onlinekhabar).
In June 2026 it received an OTT (streaming) licence from the Department of Information and Broadcasting. That lets it stream 24 hours a day across Nepal through its mobile app and website (Onlinekhabar, 30 June 2026).
What you get, according to NetTV's website:
- Live TV: 200+ channels, sorted by category.
- Auto recording: watch shows you missed from the past 7 days.
- Video on demand: movies and shows whenever you want. Its Cine+ add-on offers 4,000+ movies and 70+ web series (WorldLink plan terms).
The reason so many people are searching right now is cricket. NetTV won the online streaming rights to the Nepal Premier League with a bid of Rs 180.4 million, excluding taxes (Onlinekhabar, 7 September 2026). Wisden reports that NetTV holds the worldwide OTT rights for NPL 2026, which runs from 26 October to 21 November, while Himalaya Sports TV shows it on television. It is widely reported that NetTV had sold about 150,000 NPL subscriptions by early November (NepaliTelecom). Our guide to watching NPL 2026 live in Nepal has match times and the pass details.
NetTV is not the Live NetTV APK
Search for live net tv and you will also find something else: Live NetTV (often typed livenettv), an Android APK offered on download sites. It is not NetTV. It doesn't come from NETTV Pvt. Ltd. or from the channel owners, and it isn't installed from Google Play or the App Store. You sideload it from a website, which skips the store's safety checks.
That matters. Google says Play Protect runs a safety check on apps from the Google Play Store before you download them, and it may deactivate or remove harmful apps. An APK from a website skips that check before you download it. We won't link to it or explain how to install it.
Unofficial streams are also being shut down. In June 2026 the government asked the Nepal Telecommunications Authority to block more than 30 sites and apps streaming the FIFA World Cup without rights, and by 1 November NetTV had taken down 110 unauthorised NPL links from Facebook, YouTube and Kick (both widely reported by NepaliTelecom: the block, the takedowns).
One more naming trap. The App Store also has an older listing called NETTV NEPAL, from a different seller, New IT Venture Corporation. Its own 2019 release notes announce a rebrand to Prabhu TV. For the service in this guide, pick NetTV by NETTV PVT LTD.
Who provides NetTV: WorldLink, Vianet and the app
WorldLink NETTV
WorldLink sells NETTV with its internet. Its NETTV page offers a Google-certified Android TV box with 200+ live channels, and its plan finder has an "Internet and NetTV" option. WorldLink customers use their customer login password for NETTV, the same one used for WorldLink's online portal (WorldLink FAQ). Our internet price guide lists WorldLink's internet plans with NetTV included.
Vianet: ViaTV has replaced NetTV
In 2021 NetTV was distributed through several ISPs, including Vianet (Onlinekhabar). That has changed. Vianet's own app listing says Via TV, Vianet's own IPTV service, has now replaced NetTV. So if you're a Vianet customer searching for vianet tv, what you want is ViaTV. Vianet lists 200+ channels, catch-up of up to 7 days and a ViaTV app for iOS and Android. You add it during checkout when you choose a plan (Vianet).
Everyone else
The June 2026 licence covers streaming through NetTV's app and website anywhere in Nepal. The NPL pass is sold through the app and web, including to viewers abroad, so it isn't limited to WorldLink customers (widely reported).
How to get the NetTV app
- Android phone or tablet: open Google Play and search for NetTV. Check that the developer is NETTV PVT. LTD. The official listing shows 1M+ downloads and was last updated on 25 October 2026.
- iPhone or iPad: get NetTV on the App Store, seller NETTV PVT LTD. It needs iOS or iPadOS 15 or later. The same app runs on a Mac with an Apple M1 chip or later and macOS 12 or later. Apple TV isn't listed.
- Sign in: WorldLink customers use their WorldLink customer login. The App Store release notes show "Sign in with ISP mobile number" was added in May 2025.
- Buy what you want to watch: in-app purchases for movies were added in July 2025. The App Store lists Cine+ packages and single Nepali films such as Dorii, Julebi and Chirag.
Both stores show the publisher's name under the app title. If it isn't NETTV PVT. LTD., it isn't the app in this guide.
Web NetTV: watching in a browser
Plenty of people search for web net tv, and the answer is yes: NetTV works in a browser. Its licence covers its website as well as the app (Onlinekhabar), and the NPL pass is sold for smartphones, tablets and the web (widely reported).
The reports don't give the web player's exact address, so don't trust the first streaming site a search throws up. Start from nettv.com.np, the website NetTV lists on its Google Play page.
Want the cricket on the big screen without a set-top box? Connect a laptop to the TV with an HDMI cable, play the web version and go full screen. It's the simplest way to watch NPL from the sofa.
NetTV on a smart TV or Android TV box
On a television, WorldLink customers use the NETTV Android TV box. WorldLink describes it as a "Google Certified Android Box", powered by Android TV, with 4K HDR (HDR10), Chromecast built-in and a Bluetooth remote with Live TV, Movies, Amazon Prime and voice keys. You can also use your smartphone as the remote, and the box gives access to 5,000+ apps and games (WorldLink).
Setting it up, based on WorldLink's own troubleshooting steps:
To control the TV's volume and power with the NETTV remote, WorldLink's FAQ explains the pairing: hold SET on the NETTV remote until its light stays on, point the two remotes' LEDs at each other, then hold AV/TV on both until the NETTV light stays on. Repeat for volume up, volume down and power.
Other smart TVs and TV boxes
When we checked, NetTV's Google Play listing showed phone and tablet versions but no TV version, and none of NetTV's or WorldLink's pages mention an app for Samsung or LG smart TVs. NetTV told Onlinekhabar in June that its content works on smart TVs, but didn't say which ones. Don't sideload the phone APK onto a TV box. The routes we could confirm are WorldLink's NETTV box, a laptop over HDMI using the web version or, on Vianet, ViaTV's own set-top box.
A certified Android TV box is still worth having for YouTube and other apps. Our Android TV box price guide explains how to check certification, and our TV price guide covers smart TVs if you're replacing the set.
NetTV packages and prices (November 2026)
NetTV's home page doesn't list package prices, so these come from each provider's official pages and from reports. All were checked on 13 November 2026. Prices change, so confirm before you pay.
| What | Price | Source |
|---|---|---|
| WorldLink NETTV channels, per set-top box, 1 month | Rs 221 + 13% VAT | WorldLink |
| WorldLink NETTV channels, per set-top box, 3 months | Rs 664 + 13% VAT | WorldLink |
| WorldLink NETTV channels, per set-top box, 1 year | Rs 2,654 + 13% VAT | WorldLink |
| NETTV set-top box cable | Rs 35 + VAT per metre | WorldLink |
| NPL 2026 pass in Nepal | Up to Rs 400 including tax | Onlinekhabar |
| Cine+ in the iPhone app | US$1.09 (1 month), US$1.95 (2 months), US$2.99 (3 months) | App Store |
| ViaTV all channel pack (Vianet, not NetTV) | Rs 250 a month including VAT | Vianet |
The WorldLink figures come from its page for a 200 Mbps one-month offer (the page isn't dated), which says NETTV channels are an additional charge per set-top box, so a second TV with its own box costs extra. WorldLink also sells internet plans with NetTV built in. Vianet adds that the first ViaTV set-top box is free on a yearly plan, with a Rs 1,000 refundable deposit.
Abroad, the NPL pass is widely reported at US$4 in the Middle East and US$10 in Europe, the US, Australia, Japan and South Korea. Check the price in the app before you pay.
NetTV vs cable, DTH and other IPTV
The big difference is how the picture reaches you. NETTV works over the internet, and WorldLink's FAQ says plainly that it won't work when there's no internet (WorldLink FAQ). DishHome is a DTH service, which comes from a satellite dish on your roof, and Subisu's Clear TV is a digital cable service through a set-top box (Onlinekhabar, 2021).
NetTV pitches this as an advantage. Its website says that "even in rainy and cloudy days, the picture quality will remain clear". The trade-off is that NetTV depends on your internet line, so a fibre cut or an unpaid internet bill takes your TV down too.
Nepal Telecom has its own TV service, NTTV, sold with its fibre internet. So each big ISP pairs its internet with a TV service: NetTV on WorldLink, ViaTV on Vianet, NTTV on Nepal Telecom. Vianet, for example, puts ViaTV on the same monthly bill as your internet.
Fixing common Net TV problems
Nothing plays. Check your internet first, because NetTV can't work without it. If the internet is fine, WorldLink customers can open a ticket in the myWorldLink app or call 01-5970050 (WorldLink FAQ). NetTV's Google Play page lists its support email as info@nettv.com.np.
An error code on the set-top box. WorldLink lists five error codes. Its most common solutions are:
- Check that the set-top box is connected to the router, and that the HDMI and Ethernet (LAN) cables are firmly in.
- Hold the remote's power button for 10 seconds to turn NETTV off.
- Unplug the Ethernet cable at the set-top box and plug it back in.
- Turn NETTV on again.
Wrong password. Use your WorldLink customer login password, not your WiFi password. WorldLink's FAQ says the WiFi password is only for connecting your devices. Forgotten it? Reset it in the myWorldLink app, or choose Forgot Password under Customer Login on WorldLink's website. Our guide to WiFi passwords and router login explains the difference.
Package expired. WorldLink's "EK GHANTI" service extends an expired NETTV package for 2 days when you give a missed call to 9801227700 from your registered number.
Buffering. WorldLink says a major cause of slow internet is too many devices connected at once. Check connected devices in the myWorldLink app, block ones you don't know, or change the WiFi password. Keep the set-top box on its LAN cable.
Outside Nepal. The NPL pass is sold abroad, because NetTV holds the worldwide streaming rights (Wisden). NetTV's official pages don't say which live channels work outside Nepal, so ask support before paying for anything else.
Quick verdict
- NetTV is a Nepali streaming service with an OTT licence, 200+ channels and 7-day catch-up.
- Get the app from Google Play or the App Store; the publisher must be NETTV PVT. LTD.
- WorldLink customers sign in with the customer login password, not the WiFi password.
- Vianet customers get ViaTV instead, Rs 250 a month including VAT.
- NPL 2026 streams officially on NetTV, up to Rs 400 in Nepal, on phone, tablet and web.
- Live NetTV APKs are unofficial and sideloaded. Avoid them.

Frequently asked questions
What is Net TV in Nepal?
Net TV (NetTV) is a Nepali TV streaming service run by NETTV Pvt. Ltd. of Lalitpur, with 200+ live channels, 7-day catch-up and movies. Onlinekhabar reported that it received an OTT licence in June 2026 to stream across Nepal through its app and website. WorldLink also offers it with a set-top box.
Is Live NetTV APK the same as NetTV?
No. Live NetTV is an unofficial APK that isn't from NETTV Pvt. Ltd. or the channel owners, and it is sideloaded from websites instead of Google Play or the App Store. Use the official NetTV app, published by NETTV PVT. LTD.
How do I log in to WorldLink Net TV?
WorldLink customers sign in to NETTV with their WorldLink customer login password, the same one used for WorldLink's online portal. It is different from the WiFi password. If you have forgotten it, reset it in the myWorldLink app or with Forgot Password under Customer Login on WorldLink's website.
Can I watch web Net TV on a laptop?
Yes. NetTV's licence covers streaming on its website as well as its app, Onlinekhabar reported, and the NPL 2026 pass is widely reported to work on smartphones, tablets and the web. Start from nettv.com.np rather than a search result, and connect the laptop to a TV with HDMI if you want a bigger picture.
Does Vianet TV include NetTV?
No. Vianet's app listing says its own IPTV service, Via TV, has replaced NetTV. ViaTV's all channel pack costs Rs 250 a month including VAT, and the first set-top box is free on a yearly plan.
How much does NetTV cost to watch NPL 2026?
Onlinekhabar reported that the Cricket Association of Nepal allowed NetTV to charge up to Rs 400 including tax in Nepal for NPL 2026. Outside Nepal it is widely reported at US$4 in the Middle East and US$10 in Europe, the US, Australia, Japan and South Korea.
Why is my NetTV not working?
NetTV runs over the internet, so check your connection first. On a WorldLink set-top box, check the HDMI and LAN cables, hold the remote's power button for 10 seconds, reconnect the Ethernet cable and turn it back on. If that fails, open a ticket in the myWorldLink app or call 01-5970050.
