Watch 4k: how it works on TV & online

4K is the new dimension of television. In this practical tip, we will tell you how you can watch 4K on TV and online.

Watch 4K on TV - you have these options

CI + or Receiver: You can watch some channels on the TV in 4K. However, you need a CI + module or the appropriate receiver for this.
Antenna: If you receive your television program via DVB-T, for example, you can receive the public channels free of charge in HD quality.
Blu-Ray: Some TVs have a built-in Blu-Ray player. Otherwise, you need to connect an external Blu-Ray player to your TV so you can watch 4K.
Sky Q: Sky’s 4K service has already started in the UK. With the help of a receiver, you can stream series and films in 4K with the right Sky subscription. So far, however, it is uncertain whether and when the service will come to Germany.

Netflix: The streaming provider Netflix has already responded and switched many available series and films to the new format.
YouTube: You can also find some uploads in YouTube in the new 4K resolution.
Amazon Prime Video: This provider also follows suit and already offers a small selection in 4K.
Due to the current developments, almost all streaming providers should gradually unlock 4K for all content.
Practical: Most 4K TVs have the appropriate streaming services pre-installed as apps, so you can get started straight away.
