Any way to watch German TV for free?

Especially child programs would be great. My kids seriously lack dual language input 🙁

Anybody has a good solution? VPN on my smart tv (Nord vpn) didn’t work

And before people ask: German TV is mostly geolocked

  1. You might check the international section of the streaming services. Netflix has a few German TV shows, although they may not be suitable for children.

  2. For free? Probably not.

    For cheap-ish? buy one of those questionable IPTV boxes from europe that can receive (or stream VOD) stuff from euro-pointed satellite TV for a moderate yearly fee. the ones I’ve seen were mostly focused on sports/movies and stuff but I’m sure if you look around the forums there’s probably stuff with kids programming too. Quite possible that sorta programming might be free, too, just costing you the box itself.

  3. Just check the appropriate channels and shows on YouTube.

    You may not seen them in their website, but you can on YouTube.

    First child friendly channel I found was Peppa Pig Deutsch – Offizieller Kanal.
    Not sure if that fits your kids range, but YouTube will have something for all ages.

    N24, Spiegel with their documentaries.
    Maus channel
    Wildbrain Deusch seems to have a lot of shows.
    Benjamin Blümchen

    I’m finding everything on YouTube now.

  4. Just check the appropriate channels and shows on meine röhre . you….

  5. Not even Germans get to watch their TV for free.. If it is a subscription service just remember that it would be a cheap fee for teaching your child a language.

    If the streaming sites are geolocked I guess a VPN should work. Have you tried to stream from a PC with the VPN?

  6. While not tv you could check Spotify for german Hörspiele. I can still listen to ??? etc. Your Spotify account just needs the region of Germany so create it with a VPN I guess. I can still listen to german Spotify since I moved here.

    edit: and if you use the browser version + adblocker it’s even ad-free though I use my old surface for that
