Streaming: How to watch

With the switch to free streams since September 2020, we are no longer able to provide the technical and financial effort required to support manufacturer-specific streaming platforms.

Unfortunately, most internet providers advertise with "up to" speed promises. If you reliably reach 8-9 Mbit/s, then you can receive our streams in the highest possible quality. But even with 4-5 Mbit/s very good results are guaranteed. Internet access with speeds below 2Mbit/s is not recommended. To determine the actual speed available at your location, we recommend the network test of the regulatory authority RTR, which you can perform here: https://www.netztest.at/de/
