What is TVNOW?

RTL+ (formerly known as TVNOW) is RTL Germany’s very own streaming platform, which means that it offers livestreaming of several channels including RTL, VOX, and the children’s channel Super RTL. With one of the largest German-language streaming libraries available, TVNOW has become a household name, especially since it started to produce its own original shows in 2019. TVNOW became RTL+ in November 2021.

Apart from game and quiz shows, documentaries, and of course famous soap operas like Good Times, Bad Times (GZSZ), TVNOW also offers live sports coverage ranging from Formula 1 to German football matches during UEFA Euro 2021.

With multiple high-speed servers in Germany and best-in-class encryption, ExpressVPN works seamlessly with TVNOW so you can enjoy the best of German TV while maintaining your online privacy and security.

ExpressVPN is a VPN service not intended to be used as a means of copyright circumvention. Please read the ExpressVPN Terms of Service and RTL and TVNOW Terms & Conditions for more details.

Why should I use a VPN for TVNOW?

In order to reduce traffic, some internet service providers (ISPs) throttle bandwidth when you’re streaming, which can result in lots of buffering and a frustrating viewing experience. The same can happen on public Wi-Fi networks, which are also notoriously unsecure. ExpressVPN encrypts your traffic in a secure tunnel so your ISP can’t see your activity and therefore won’t throttle your bandwidth, while preventing anyone else from intercepting your online activity.

Can I watch TVNOW abroad?

It is possible to stream a limited number of shows on TVNOW outside of Germany.

Will using a VPN affect the video quality?

Usually, no. Bad video quality often comes from a slow internet connection, which can have various causes. While a VPN could slow down your connection, ExpressVPN is dedicated to providing the fastest VPN service possible, so it’s likely you won’t notice a difference.

Under certain circumstances, a VPN may even help you overcome the bandwidth throttling by your ISP, thus making your connection faster.

What else can I do with ExpressVPN?

There are many great reasons to use a VPN, whether it’s to get the best price while shopping online or to safeguard your privacy online. Check out this Get Started page for more tips on getting the most out of ExpressVPN.

Perfect. Unlike other VPNs that took forever to stream anything, with ExpressVPN I never notice a difference at all. It takes a lot to make me happy but this did it for me.

Have been using this service for two years now... it's infallible. Works with every app and streaming service. Uptime is good, no stuttering or delay on streams.

This is the first VPN service that doesn't slow down or buffer my streaming services while I'm at home. I appreciate that and thank you all for doing it right!
