Payment method

All invoices for your CANAL+ package must be paid by direct debit, credit card (Visa or Mastercard) or PayPal.

Invoice

You can view your invoice conveniently online in the CANAL+ customer area. Please log in with your e-mail address and password. Under "Invoices" you can see all the invoices assigned to the subscriptions.

Payment

The payment intervals for your CANAL+ package are product-dependent and unfortunately cannot be individually adjusted.
If any outstanding charges or an unpaid invoice have occurred due to a change in your bank account or similar, you can easily and conveniently settle the amount directly through your customer account. This usually allows for much faster reactivation of a suspended account compared to payment via payment slip.

If you still prefer to make a bank transfer, here are our bank details:
Recipient: Canal+ Luxembourg S. à r.l.
IBAN: AT73 1814 0000 0220 9829
BIC: CITIATWXXXX

If you choose to pay via a payment slip, please make sure to include the last invoice number as the payment reference – this is the only way we can correctly allocate the payment to your customer account.

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, for example if you are on vacation or sick.
If you wish to cancel your existing contract, you can reach our customer service from Monday to Saturday between 8:00 AM and 7:00 PM at 01 2051 2352.

If you would like to transfer a contract, please send the completed Contract Transfer Form to info@canalplus.at. You can download the required PDF here: Contract Transfer Form

In the event of the contract holder’s death, relatives have the option to take over the contract. To do this, the death certificate of the previous contract holder and the completed Contract Transfer Form must be sent to info@canalplus.at.

CANAL+ channel list

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.

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

As of January 7, 2025, the availability of the following channels will change:

Puls 4, ATV, ATV 2, Puls 24, ProSieben, SAT.1, Kabel Eins, sixx, ProSieben MAXX, SAT.1 Gold, Kabel Eins Doku, SAT.1 Emotions, Kabel Eins classics, and ProSieben Fun.

What stays the same?

Via satellite: With the exception of SAT.1 Emotions and Kabel Eins classics, all channels will remain available as usual.

What is changing?

Streaming availability: The aforementioned channels will only be available on the following devices:

All supported Smart TVs and sticks (Samsung, LG, Sony, Panasonic, Android TV, Fire TV, etc.)
Set-top boxes such as MZ-101, MZ-102, or the A1 Xplore Box

Due to new manufacturer specifications, we can no longer offer the streaming of erotic channels, but both the picture and the program remain sharp.

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

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!

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. 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, 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.
