The German broadcaster ZDF is currently experiencing numerous outages since around 12 noon on September 14th. Viewers report via our fault detector that they are having problems with TV reception, with the media library and with difficulty playing content.
So far we don’t know the reason for the current disruption, but the streaming service RTL+ was already struggling with some disruptions and connection problems this morning. On the short message service X, formerly Twitter, users also exchange information about the broadcasters’ impairments.
Alternatively, we can recommend that you watch ZDF and many other channels via the two live TV providers Waipu.tv and Zattoo. As soon as there is news about the ongoing outages at the station, we will keep you updated here.
