Watch ZDF Livestream abroad - is that possible?

ZDF broadcasts programs from various subject areas such as culture, politics or sports. If you don't own a TV but still want to follow the channel's programming, a livestream is a good option. In Germany, unlike abroad, you can watch the livestream all day long.

How to watch the ZDF Livestream abroad

For legal reasons, it is only possible to watch the livestream of ZDF channels all day from Germany. You can find the stream under "Live TV" on the ZDF website. You can also watch other programs at any time in the ZDF Mediathek, even after the TV broadcast date. If, on the other hand, you would like to watch the ZDF live stream from abroad, this is only possible to a limited extent.

1. ZDF offers exclusive livestreams for selected broadcasts.
2. If you would still like to access all channels, you will have to bypass the IP block that ZDF applies.
3. For this, you can use a plug-in for your browser. Here, for example, "FoxyProxy" for Firefox offers itself. Doch auch hier müssen Sie rechtlich einige Punkte beachten.
4. Eine andere Möglichkeit ist die Verwendung einer VPN-Verbindung, da so Ihre IP-Adresse nicht gelesen werden kann. Auch hierfür gibt es verschiedene Tools, die Sie anwenden können.
5. Die beste Möglichkeit ist jedoch die Verwendung eines anderen Streaming-Dienstes. Hierbei bieten sich die Streams von Zattoo oder waipu.tv an.
