Watching TV over the Internet - free and legally possible?

Conventional TV is already not so interesting for you since the arrival of Netflix, Maxdome and other streaming providers? If you still do not want to completely abandon the classic TV program, there are some ways to watch TV over the Internet.

Television over the Internet: These free and legal options are available

In terms of the two aspects, you have to make some compromises, but then it is quite possible to watch many shows, even from private television.

• Joyn: On Joyn, you can register for free and thereby stream shows live for free and watch them in replay up to seven days after broadcast. However, you must be prepared to be interrupted by short commercial breaks every now and then.
• TVNow: The media library of Saturn, RTL, Sat1 and Vox allows you to watch broadcasts free of charge in a period of seven days after broadcast. Even with this option, you must remember that there are ads.
• Mediathek of the public broadcasters: Through the media libraries of public broadcasters, you can access longer-term programs that have been broadcast.

Is conventional TV still worth it for you?

The question you need to ask yourself is whether you want to pay for conventional TV. After all, you can watch most programs free of charge - but only for a period of seven days. At the same time, you don't need another device if you have a smart TV. It therefore makes sense for you to make a cost-benefit calculation and consider whether you are prepared to pay for conventional television.
