Hello everyone,
...our construction is almost complete and we are really looking forward to moving in at the beginning of October. Now, after everything went very smoothly, a (albeit small) problem has arisen:
We had planned for IPTV reception because a bandwidth of up to 50,000 kbits/s is available in the residential area. However, as it turns out, not through Telekom, but only through the local energy supplier EWE based in the Bremen area. EWE does not offer IPTV, Telekom and 1&1 only provide up to 16,000 kbits/s, and Vodafone cannot provide IPTV at our location. Now I’m worried that 16,000 might be too slow, since often much less is actually available at the location... Would there be any way to book an IPTV tariff without an associated internet connection? Then I could get the 50,000 kbits through EWE and subscribe to IPTV via another provider. As far as I know, that’s not possible, right? Do you have any other ideas?
EWE offers an app #link entfernt; Epi, through which 50 TV channels can be watched online, including 8 in HD. However, the app can only be used on laptops, tablets, and smartphones. Theoretically, it should probably also be possible to install it on the new Apple TV from the App Store, which might be a makeshift solution.
What would you do?
