System Requirements

• Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 7 (32-bit and 64-bit versions)

Is the TV reception live?

You probably know this from the Soccer World Cup: The neighbors were already cheering in front of the TV, but for you, the ball is still ‘live’ in your own penalty area. Nowadays, television is transmitted in many different ways. With OnlineTV, you watch the so-called live stream. But live doesn’t always mean live. The various transmission methods can differ by up to 100 seconds. When watching TV via a satellite dish, you’re usually at the forefront. If you watch TV via digital cable, you lag behind by up to 5 seconds. With DVB-T, there can be delays of up to 10 seconds. With streaming or online television on the web, there can certainly be a delay of up to one minute. If you’re on vacation abroad, this can even take a bit longer – also depending on your internet connection (e.g., DSL). For news or regular programs, this is usually not a problem – whether the Titanic sinks 20 seconds earlier or later should actually be irrelevant. For news or regular programs, you probably won’t notice any delay. You can find more information about Internet television on Wikipedia

How is the app for Android installed?

First of all: The minimum requirements for OnlineTV on a smartphone or tablet are Android 5 (Lollipop) or higher. You also need an ARMv7 CPU (or higher) – unfortunately, Intel is not supported! For installation, the ‘Installation from unknown sources’ option must also be enabled on your device. You can usually find this option on your Android device under ‘Settings’ -> ‘Security’ -> ‘Device administration’.

First, activate OnlineTV on Windows with your product key, which you received when purchasing OnlineTV. Then register the program with your email address in the ‘Settings’ menu under ‘My Data’. Please enter your email address there and save it.

Then please click on ‘Connection Settings’ and activate ‘Enable access to Android app for my email address’. Double-check if your email address is correct and click ‘Save’ there.

Now you can download the app for Android. To do this, go to this link for the Android installation file with the browser on your Android device and start the download. After downloading, open the Android app, click on the menu in the top left and select ‘Unlock app’. Then enter your email address, which you previously activated for access.

Important: Access to the Android app is not possible in the demo version of the software!

Can all channels be watched abroad as well?

Yes! Thanks to OnlineTV 20, there are no restrictions regarding the country from where you can watch Internet television. Many broadcasters block their streams on the web through so-called geotargeting. For example, Swiss television channels can often only be accessed in Switzerland. But with OnlineTV 20, this is not a problem. Watch your shows (or news) wherever you want! At home or abroad.

Does the software really only need to be paid for once?

Yes, there really are no additional costs for you. Further use of OnlineTV 20 is free. No subscription, nothing. Guaranteed. OnlineTV 20 is not a monthly service like providers such as Zattoo, Teleboy, Wilmaa or Magine TV. You can watch TV online whenever, wherever and as often as you want. Whether in 2025 or 2031.

Why are videos constantly ‘buffering’ or not displaying at all?

Fundamentally: The quality of videos on the internet always depends on the number of users accessing a video simultaneously and the connection of the respective server – and of course also the user’s connection. So when a World Cup final is on, problems are more likely than during a news broadcast at 3:00 AM. And the speed of your internet connection is naturally also important.

However, problems on your computer could also be the cause. What you should definitely do:

• Update your Windows version to the latest state using the Windows Update function.
• Update your onlineTV version to the latest version
• Update your Flash Player, if you still have it installed. Even though newer versions from onlineTV 16 onwards no longer require the Flash Player, it often embeds itself so deeply into the system that problems can occur. Important: You must install Flash Player for Internet Explorer and possibly Edge! But it’s best to completely forgo the Flash Player…
• Update the drivers for your graphics card and sound card!
• If all of this doesn’t help, try deactivating your firewall and/or other security or tuning tools on your computer. If the connection is then more stable, please check if onlineTV can be put on a so-called ‘whitelist’ in the security software identified as problematic.
• Is ActiveX enabled in Internet Explorer? Please check in the Internet Explorer settings whether ActiveX / Scripting is enabled. This option only needs to be activated if you have Adobe Flash installed! You can find these settings in Internet Explorer in the menu ‘Tools’ / ‘Internet Options’ / ‘Security’. At the same time, you can also check in Internet Explorer under ‘Tools’ / ‘Manage Add-ons’ whether Flash has been activated.

If you use a firewall, the following ports must be opened: Port 80 (Outgoing TCP), Port 1935 (Outgoing TCP and UDP) and Port 19350-65535 (Incoming UDP)

Why do my recorded programs contain no sound? Or what does the message mean that no recording source was found?

As soon as a recording is started, onlineTV checks if a valid audio recording source can be found. Usually, there are only problems if your computer contains an Audio HD chipset.

Then open the Audio Properties by right-clicking on the volume icon. There, please select ‘Recording devices’. Click on ‘Show disabled devices’. Then right-click on ‘Stereo Mix’ and select ‘Enable’: Important: A ‘Default device’ must be specified. Repeat the first three steps and then select ‘Set as Default Device’ for ‘Stereo Mix’.

Also important: You should definitely install the latest driver for your sound card! Especially if you don’t have ‘Stereo Mix’ as an option.

Why is there no onlineTV version for MAC, iPad or iPhone?

The software is ready – unfortunately, Apple has repeatedly rejected the app and apparently doesn’t want such software in its App Stores. It’s a shame, but we can’t change it. For macOS, however, there is a solution at https://onlinetv-software.com/.

Why are only a few channels displayed?

The list of channels is regularly updated and especially expanded. Please simply click on ‘Click here for more channels’ at the bottom of the ‘Television’ menu and follow the instructions.

Why are videos only saved as AVI for me, for example?

In the settings under ‘Recording settings’, you can choose the video format. If an option is grayed out, the appropriate codec is no longer installed on your system or there is no longer access to it. We warn against installing so-called ‘Codec Packs’ – these usually do more harm than good and are almost impossible to remove from the system.

Why Does an Antivirus Scanner Report OnlineTV as Malware?

This is a false alarm, a so-called ‘False Positive’. All development systems of OnlineTV are checked several times a day by various security programs. If you want to be absolutely sure, check the digital signature of the EXE file. You can get this by right-clicking on the file and then in the ‘Digital Signatures’ tab.
