Joyn: Stream the channels of ProSiebenSat.1 for free

Joyn is a streaming service for TV shows and movies. What is the difference between the offer from the competitors Zattoo or Waipu.tv , what are the pros and cons?

Joyn is a streaming service from ProSiebenSat.1 and Discovery. Both on-demand videos and live streams from TV stations are available. The contents extend beyond the own productions and stations of the media group: altogether 17 content suppliers are to be involved.

 Free and paid streaming service

Currently Joyn is free and ad-supported. In the medium term, it should be divided into a free basic offer and a paid premium offer. The latter announced ProSiebenSat.1 for winter 2019. A price has not yet called the media group.

These channels and broadcasts

According to the provider, 55 live TV stations are currently integrated in Joyn. In addition to their own channels such as ProSieben, Sat.1, Kabel 1, Sixx are Das Erste, ZDF and KiKa available. Content from Viacom International Media Networks with MTV, Comedy Central and Nickelodeon is supposed to follow in just a few weeks.

On the start page, the live stations play only a minor role. Here are advertised primarily the series that are available for retrieval. 40 TV formats are even supposed to be available before the TV broadcast. For example, cured topic channels are about cooking or driving a car.

Disadvantages: That's why Joyn is not a Zattoo or Netflix

So on the one hand Joyn offers own productions like Netflix, on the other hand TV like Zattoo. And yet confident followers of these competitor portals will not be happy with Joyn:

• Sender of the RTL group missing.
• Some public channels are streamed in HD quality, but not ProSieben, Sat.1 etc.
• The image quality of many media content leaves a lot to be desired.
• Both the call of private channels, as well as media library titles, as well as the coils advertising clips are interposed.
• Many broadcasts should be available for retrieval only for 30 days after broadcast.
