How to fix RTL Television not working
RTL Television is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach rtl.de over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Reload and restart
Reload the page (Ctrl+F5, or Cmd+Shift+R on a Mac), or fully close the app and open it again.
Try another connection
Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data. If it works on one and not the other, the problem is your network, not RTL Television.
Update the app
Install the latest version from the App Store or Google Play. Old versions can stop connecting after a server-side change.
While RTL Television is down: what to use instead
- RTL+ app If the website is the problem, open the RTL+ app on a phone, tablet, or TV and try the live channel or the same show there.
- TV reception If you only need the live RTL channel, switch to cable, satellite, or DVB-T2 on a TV instead of streaming.
- Joyn Joyn helps when you want another German live TV stream or a recent entertainment show while the RTL stream is unavailable.
- ARD Mediathek or ZDFmediathek Use these for German news, live public TV, and on demand programmes when you can wait for RTL-specific shows.

How we track RTL Television
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for RTL Television, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for RTL Television, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. RTL Television doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
