Discontinuation of SD quality broadcasting for public television programs

On January 7, 2025, "Das Erste" and all "third channels" will switch off satellite transmission in SD quality. From this point on, the affected programs can only be received in HD quality.

What you need to pay attention to:

  • You need an HD-capable TV/device
  • If the programs are not yet visible, a channel search is necessary
  • If you do not receive the signal directly via your TV, you will also need an HD-capable receiver
