Many of us know this situation: You want to catch up on the latest news or be entertained by an exciting series, but the screen remains black. Especially with private DVB-T2 channels, it often happens that they are not automatically unlocked. But don’t worry, with a few simple steps, you can quickly fix the problem and enjoy the full program.
What does “Unlocking DVB-T2 Private Channels” actually mean?
Basically, it’s quite simple: DVB-T2 is the standard for digital terrestrial television in Germany. Private channels such as RTL, Sat.1, or ProSieben broadcast their programs encrypted via this standard. “Unlocking” in this context means nothing more than removing this encryption so that you can receive the channels.
Why do I even have to unlock private DVB-T2 channels?
Think of it as a security mechanism. The private channels want to ensure that only those who pay for it can receive their programs. Unlocking is usually done via a module or a card that you insert into your TV or receiver.
