Terrestrial

Terrestrial transmission refers to the reception level of picture and sound transmission from earthbound radio transmitters. Terrestrial television is possible via a house, indoor or rod antenna with a small additional box. A DVB-T/DVB-T2 receiver can also be integrated in the television set. All programmes of the public broadcasters receivable via DVB-T2 can be received free of charge and unencrypted. The programmes of the private broadcasters can be added for a fee via "freenet TV".
