MobileTV

Experience the convenience of live television right at your fingertips with MobileTV, an application crafted to bring a diverse range of TV channels to your Android smartphone or tablet. Boasting over 25 channels, including major networks such as Das Erste, ZDF, and RTL, as well as sports-specialty offerings like Eurosport, this platform caters to a variety of viewing preferences.

One standout feature is the ability to preview channels before committing to a package, allowing users to explore the content free of charge. For sports enthusiasts, there are specialized packages with live coverage of the Bundesliga and insights about specific football clubs like Borussia Dortmund and Hamburger SV.

The service requires an active mobile contract with Telekom Deutschland GmbH and a device running at least Android OS 4.1. A stable UMTS/LTE network connection or Wi-Fi access (Telekom network within Germany for the basic package) is also necessary.

Subscription costs are as follows: 7.50€ monthly or 2.00€ daily for the basic package, while sports-focused packages vary, such as the Sky Fußball-Bundesliga package available both monthly and quarterly.

Channels are broadcast in standard definition, and it is ensured that no additional data charges apply for video streaming over the mobile network. However, the experience may be limited after exceeding data allowances tied to one's mobile plan. Users must be mindful that restrictions apply to content, as certain programs of specific age ratings are only accessible depending on the channel and time.

For legal reasons, streaming cannot be relayed to monitors through Airplay or HDMI connections, preserving the mobile-centric design of the service. Users with permanent residence in Germany can still enjoy the game while temporarily staying in other EU member states.

Finally, even if users uninstall the game, active subscriptions do not terminate automatically. It is essential to manage subscriptions within the platform or by contacting the customer hotline to prevent further charges. Keep in mind that broadcasters may adjust program offerings, and the service is contingent upon the approval of one's phone number in the mobile contract's privacy settings, which can be activated by sending a designated SMS for seamless functionality.
