ZDF or "Second German Television" is a German public-service television channel based in Mainz, Rhineland-Palatinate. It is run as an independent non-profit institution, which was founded by all federal states of Germany. ZDF is financed by television licence fees and advertising revenues. ZDF shares the income with ARD and Deutschlandradio.

The online channel can only be watched in Germany due to geographical restrictions. If you travel anywhere abroad, your IP will be detected and your access to the ZDF content will be blocked. Smart DNS is a tool that will unblock the service from anywhere in the world.
