Would you like to know how long your minimum contract period is?

The duration of your contract depends on your product. You can find more information here under the packages.

If you already have an active product with CANAL+, you will find the minimum contract period on your order confirmation or the contract you received either by e-mail or post.

Would you like to cancel or suspend your contract?

There is an unlimited contract period with a minimum contract term of 12 months, which begins after any free months have expired. Cancellation is possible at the end of the minimum contract term subject to a one-month notice period or every six months thereafter to the end of the month. Right of cancellation: 14 days

Your existing contract cannot normally be terminated prematurely until the end of the minimum contract term. However, if you are no longer able to receive CANAL+ after moving due to your new living situation, we will be happy to review your request.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to temporarily suspend your CANAL+ package if you are, for example, on vacation or sick.

Your channels will be activated immediately after registration on your CANAL+ receiver with integrated Micro-SAT card or your ORF DIGITAL-SAT card.

You must receive the activation signal for the channels to be fully activated.

You can easily activate the channels yourself: Do you have a CANAL+ receiver? Then please switch to ORF eins HD. If you have an ORF DIGITAL SAT card, please switch to Puls 4 HD. Then stay on this channel. Your programs will be activated within 30 minutes.

Still have no picture on ORF eins HD or Puls 4 HD after 30 minutes? Then send yourself a new activation.

Due to new manufacturer guidelines, we can no longer offer the streaming of erotic channels, but don't worry – the rest of our channels will still keep you on the edge of your seat!

You can therefore continue to receive our erotic channels:

On the browser

Via the CANAL+ SAT receiver

Via the CANAL+ SAT module

Would you like to be able to receive CANAL+ on several devices?

Reception on several TV sets at the same time is only possible if a separate CANAL+ package is active for each CANAL+ receiver or on each ORF DIGITAL SAT card.

TIP:

With the CANAL+ TV app, you can be logged in on up to 5 devices. On your cell phone, tablet or laptop. In your own room, on the balcony or in the garden - and of course on the move. Our smart-TV app is available on Samsung, LG, JVC, Nabo and many other TV sets.

If you don't have one of these TVs, you can also stream a wide range of TV content to your TV via Google Chromecast or Amazon Fire TV-Stick (as of Fire OS 6) using the CANAL+ TV app.

All CANAL+ products are intended exclusively for people with an address and bank account in Austria. If Internet access with sufficient bandwidth is available, the Internet TV services and apps can also be used by customers when they are abroad.

If bad weather interferes with satellite reception, the TV app already included in your CANAL+ package is the perfect alternative. It allows you to enjoy your favorite channels on your Smart TV, cell phone, tablet, laptop, Apple TV, or desktop PC via a web browser.

So, hands off the satellite dish when there's thunder and lightning.

Error messages

General error messages CANAL+ module
Error messages CANAL+ app
Error messages for ORF cards

No signal

Check your satellite cabling. If the problem persists, have a professional adjust your satellite dish. You can check if the channel ZDF HD is working, as this is a free-to-air channel. If it doesn’t work, the problem is with the satellite signal.

No authorization when using the CANAL+ module (S003)

Switch to ORF 1 HD and wait 30 minutes. Make sure the channel is part of your package.

Encrypted signal

Perform a power reset. Then switch to ORF 1 HD and wait 30 minutes if you are using the CANAL+ module. For ORF cards, switch to Puls 4 HD and wait 30 minutes, the activation will happen automatically.

001-1 no program authorization

Perform a software update on Canal + First and then switch to ORF 1 HD for 1 hour. You will then automatically receive the authorization!

Your login is not working as intended? Please check your email address that you used for registration.

Forgotten password

Have you forgotten your password? No problem! Simply create a new password.

Connectivity issues

Are you having issues with your connection? Please check your internet speed. It should be at least 25 Mbit/s.

Certain channels aren’t available

If the channel is not part of your package, you can upgrade your package at any time so that you can enjoy the whole experience of CANAL+. You can upgrade at any time via your account or through our customer service.

New ORF digital satellite card or new CANAL+ receiver

Do you have a new ORF DIGITAL SAT card or a new CANAL+ receiver?

E16-4 and E19-4: If you use CANAL+ on an ORF card, the ORF card must be replaced every 5 years. You can easily do this in your account under the menu item "Card exchange". We recommend that you switch to our module. With CANAL+ devices, you can watch all Austrian programmes including ORF in HD and receive additional channels in HD and UHD. This makes the hassle of changing cards a thing of the past and saves you the annual platform fee.

E30-4 or E107-4: Have you recently received a new ORF card or new hardware? Then you can simply link the two devices in your account.

Other smartcard issues

E04-4: This error message appears if no smartcard is inserted. Please insert the smartcard now.

E06-4: The smartcard was inserted incorrectly. Turn the card over and then insert it again.

E45 - E60: The error message means that your receiver cannot receive sufficient signal strength for the selected transponder. Please check the signal strength first! The signal quality should be at least 80%. If you cannot receive a single channel, please check whether your device has been connected correctly or have your satellite system checked by a specialist. If only individual channels are missing, please make sure that the reception data has been saved correctly and is up to date. You can find our frequency list here. A satellite aerial that is not optimally aligned can also cause interference with individual transmitters. It must therefore be ensured that the SAT system is optimally aligned so that you can enjoy our channels in any weather and at any time of day.

E81-35 or E80-35: Please check whether there is an update for your receiver and then carry out this update.

E106-4 or E106-9: Please check whether you are on the correct channel (e.g. Pro7 HD Austria). Some channels only work with CANAL+ hardware (RTL UHD, Kabel1 Doku HD, Sat1 Gold HD, Sixx HD, Pro7 Maxx HD, Sport1 HD, Insight TV, Dorcel TV, Dorcel XXX, Mezzo, Penthouse).

E133-4 and other error messages from E130-E 139: Please contact our chat. We will then send you a special impulse.
