Use the ARD Mediathek programme page to distinguish a regional public broadcaster’s listing from a national Das Erste slot. The same series may appear under more than one sender name.

Check the exact listing

Open the episode and record the contributing broadcaster and broadcast date. Check the programme page’s audio description or subtitle options separately from any linear-channel listing.

Check the supported device before choosing a plan

Look for ARD Mediathek and its publisher in the store for the intended TV, box or mobile OS. Compare the desired programme, subtitle and audio options against the terms for the viewing country.

Source scope

Each regional contributor can have its own live stream and expiry rules.
