Unlock and receive encrypted channels - how it works

No matter whether via cable or satellite - if you want to unlock encrypted channels, you have to pay money. Read this practical tip on how to activate and receive the channels.

Unlock encrypted channels - you have to do that

• If you receive channels that are encrypted via satellite or cable, they may be pay TV channels.
• As the name already suggests, you can only unlock and receive them against payment.
• You have various providers, such as Kabel Deutschland, Telekom, Vodafone or others, from whom you can buy such a television package.
• Depending on the provider, you will then receive a so-called smart card for your television or receiver or a completely new receiver.
• You can then receive and watch the encrypted programs using this receiver.
• The providers can put together your individual package.
