Satellite reception in Africa, Near and Middle East

For direct satellite reception we recommend a dish size of at least 80 cm. in diameter.
Additionally, if you have a large enough satellite dish, it may be possible to receive DW's channels outside of the central broadcasting area. Please contact customer service for more information: info@dw.com.

Please note: In Africa, the German channel DW Deutsch is only available via some local partner stations or via live stream!
