Frequently Asked Questions

At the Livestream of the ORF, I see a message that the "Livestream is not available." Why?
 
The ORF has two types of errors when playing the program:
  • This video may only be reproduced in Austria for legal reasons.


    Reason: The broadcast is only broadcasted in Austria but not in other countries like Germany.
  • The desired live stream is currently unavailable


    Reason: The broadcast is generally not broadcasted on the Internet, regardless of whether you are in Austria or not.
When I press the Home Button in the Live TV app, the sound continues in the background. How do I turn off this feature?
 
The sound continues in the background, so that you can read the mails briefly while listening to the news. When you return to the Live TV app, you can see the image again. If you do not want this: try tapping the pause button to pause before pressing the home button.

You can also permanently disable this option. To do this, select "Play in background" from "Settings".
 
In the App Store, there are two apps for iPhone / iPad: Live TV IPTV Stream (free) and Live TV Fernsehen IP TV (paid). What is the difference?
 
You can immediately watch a sample selection of channels when you install the Live TV IPTV Stream app. With a Live TV package you can test all features for 7 days for free.
With the Live TV Fernsehen IP TV app, you will get an immediate discount for a period of one month with the purchase of the app. Then, you can freely decide whether you want to extend the app via subscription (same cost as Live TV IPTV Stream).
 

Can I watch international channels with Live TV?
 
Yeah sure! With the Live TV app you can watch over 200 different channels from all over the world. With a diverse range of international channels from the USA, India, Switzerland, UK, Poland and many more, Live TV is the ideal app for anyone who enjoys streaming international TV.

Does Live TV also work abroad like in the USA or in Spain?
 
TV stations determine the availability of their streams abroad. That is why we can not guarantee whether the corresponding station or show will be available abroad.


We installed a detector to help determine whether the show is available: a tablet next to the name of the program indicates this. Blue tablets mean that the stream is potentially receivable. Gray means that the stream is not receivable.
I'm looking for streams from private stations like RTL, Sat.1 and ProSieben.
 
Live TV shows stations where free and open web streams are available on the Internet. Transmitters such as Pro 7, Sat.1 and RTL do not provide such a stream. See also:

 
In Live TV I see channels with the name "100% Reportage", "100% Economy (Wirtschaft)" or "100% Drama". What's this?
 
The TV Pro editorial team determines the most relevant TV programs on a daily basis by using the Programmzeitschrift TV Pro or the TV Pro program guide and the viewing rate of our Streaming App Live TV.

Categorized by theme, updated hourly, with options such as download, browse, clips, and more.

From the theme collections of the TV Pro Mediathek, we also provide daily channels exclusively for the Live TV App. with 100% reportage. We propose a daily sequence of top channels in the form of a program schema. Here, our algorithm is able to select the top from the Mediatheken and high-quality media books at the main end time at 20:15.
