That's over 400 German-language channels in total: the main national channels, public and private, regional channels from the federal states, news, documentaries, film and series channels, kids and music, in HD and in 4K where available.
The same subscription also includes our full international line-up of 35,000+ channels and 95,000+ movies and series on demand. You can see how many channels each country has on our channel list, but the easiest way to judge is to try it: the free trial lets you browse every German category without a credit card.

The most popular devices in Germany, Austria and Switzerland
The Amazon Fire TV Stick is the top choice among our customers in Germany: it's inexpensive, quick to set up and works with any TV that has an HDMI port. Our Fire TV Stick guide walks you through the setup step by step. Android TV boxes work just as well and often have a little more power for 4K.
Many recent Samsung and LG TVs don't need any extra hardware at all, just a player app from the TV's own app store. See our guides for Samsung Smart TV and LG Smart TV. MAG boxes are also very common in the German-speaking countries; they run on a Portal URL linked to the box's MAC address, and our MAG box guide explains how it works. Apple TV, iPhone, iPad and computers are supported too.
Internet speed and multilingual households
For smooth HD streaming, plan on at least 10 Mbps per screen, and 25 Mbps for 4K. Most DSL, cable and fiber connections handle that with ease. For the most stable picture, connect your TV by Ethernet cable or use your router's 5 GHz Wi-Fi band.
Plenty of families in Germany speak more than one language at home. That's why our whole international line-up comes with the same subscription, including large Turkish, Polish, Arabic and Balkan sections. With a plan for up to 4 connections, parents can watch the news from back home while the kids watch German children's TV in the next room.
