If you just want to watch NDR, you can use the live stream of the station on the official website. If you disregard the broadcasting fees, you can watch the NDR program free of charge in the live stream.

To the official NDR live stream

If you prefer to watch on your smartphone or tablet (Android, Apple), you can simply use the official ARD app. In addition to the live stream from NDR, the ARD app also offers the broadcaster's other stations (WDR, MDR, SWR, etc.) and the content of the various media libraries.

However, there is a small restriction with the official live streams: For licensing reasons, some content cannot be shown on the Internet. You can usually get around this limitation by using a paid TV streaming service. These services offer additional functions such as recorder functions, additional stations and more.
