Receive ATV - how it works

You can normally only receive the TV station ATV in Austria. If you would like to see it in Germany, you have only a few options.

Receiving ATV in Germany - is that possible?

• If you live near the border to Austria, such as Bavaria, you have the option of receiving ATV via DVBT.
• Simply start an automatic station search and wait until ATV has been found successfully.
• If you do not live in Bavaria, you need a smart card or a CI + module from ORF.
• You will only receive such a card against cash payment in Austria. On the other hand, you should stay away from internet auctions because the cards on offer are often blocked.
• So you only have reception via satellite. At Astra 1 you can also receive ATV in Germany.
• To do this, use the 12.629 GHz frequency and search for the transmitter until you find it.
• Alternatively, you can also watch the series in the ATV media library.
