$300/ year is too expensive. Lots of content but should be same price as Netflix. Much of the content can be had for free using Mediatek app. Apps also don't work properly on several devices, so de... See more

Phenomenal!!

Phenomenal!!! My dad has the remote on lock. The immediate setting enables him to call his friends freely and watch in sync. He's able to tune into channels throughout Germany and he gets his fix of Bundesliga.

BIG SCAM

Looks like all of us have the same problem. I activated automated payment 2 days before they vanished. Does anybody know if they still charge? I contacted my bank of course, but the company charged with a check payment. Its totally strange.

German TV Company off

To be honest, as a German living in Turkey, I think, they have a serious media license problem, thats why it is off from one second to the other. There is no other logical reason, technical problems dont take so long time, and when you have technical problems, E-Mail support worksm, but their whole homepage is off.

I feel very sorry, not just about my payment, but i love this service, and unfortunately I didnt find any comparable service like German TC company.

I think, when they return, it will be dfferent name, homepage etc.

Don't start subscription until service is fully back!

I called the company, plugged my phone in, and just waited. After 25 minutes, someone picked up, but the gentleman's English was so bad that he neither understood what I was saying nor could express what the problem was or exactly when it was going to be fixed. Waste of time.

I downloaded Play G TV from Google Playstore on my phone and am able to watch it, but I don't know what show is on because I can't get the program guide at all and can't go back in time, so what's the use.

I wish the company would just say when or if the service is back on LIKE BEFORE or if it is NOT COMING BACK LIKE THAT, SO I CQN CANCEL MY SUBSCRIPTION.

Need better instructions...

I understand the problems your are going through. We tried to install the app but we could not even access the Google Play Store from my mother's Android box. It was deactivated. We finally managed to get there, just to be told, you have to log in. Logged in with the registered gmail account. Now it won't let us search for the app, just gives suggestions. I found the app online but I do not want it downloaded to computer. I want it downloaded to my mother's Android box so she can use it from there. With her 82 years, she does not have the computer knowledge to do all this workaround, and not everybody is familiar with an Android box and Google Play.

Dear customers

Dear customers, we apologize for what happened.
We are trying our best to eliminate the consequences of a global outage
At the moment, technical support does not have time to process calls, because there are about 100 of them every minute
Therefore, at the moment they have temporarily disconnected the line
Also, due to the fact that our business is changing location, our websites and mail are not working.
Therefore, we do not have time to respond to your messages and write with a great delay.
Please be understanding.
The company values ​​each client and is ready to help everyone.
We continue to work as before.
For missed days of services, all customers will receive bonuses in the form of additional days

Now specifically to solving problems, if you have Mecool or x96 TV boxes, then in order to continue watching TV you need to download the PlayG application from the Google Play Market.
The logo of which we will send you below

Also, for all Android smartphones, you can find the PlayG app in the Google Play Store.

Won't let me attach links...

My dad loved German TV

My dad loved German TV. I paid the entire year as well and passed by their store and they are permanently closed. This company is based out of Brooklyn, NY. Their address is 1404 Avenue Z. The store was called TechStudio.

After additional research, I noticed they also did Polish and Ukranian TV. I called the phone numbers listed for them as well and it does not even ring.

Signed up for German TV in Dec

Signed up for German TV in Dec. 2021 and paid the 299.99 dollar annual fee. Today Jan 19 2022 they are no longer in service and their website is disconnected. Phone number won't ring through and I just lost a bunch of money. Really sad service when this happens with no notification or ability to get refund.

I am using their service for 3 years…

I am using their service for 3 years now and really never had a problem until the last few days. Website down, nobody answers the phone. I always prepay for one year and definitely not happy about the lack of communication.
