Cable TV
To receive cable television all you need is a TV antenna cable. This
connects the normal antenna socket on the television, or other receiver such as
a video recorder or digital receiver, to the cable socket in the apartment
wall. The difference between cable television and terrestrial or satellite
television is that cable usually involves a connection fee as well as a monthly
subscription.
Most apartments in Munich are already wired for cable television. To find
out if you are subscribed simply plug your television aerial into the wall
socket - if you see cable channels then you know you are subscribed. One more
thing to bear in mind - cable subscribers are obliged to pay a television license fee.

Internet
Germany has both dial-up and broadband internet options. It also has over
8,600 Internet "hotspots". Apart from the usual locations in airport
terminals, smaller businesses such as hotels, gas stations, bars and
restaurants also provide wireless Internet access on the go and very often free
of charge. The best way to find hotspots is online, so when you are at a
hotspot, search and save the location.
Germany has many Internet options. However, pinning down and recommending
the plan that’s just right for you can be quite a challenge. One place to start
for English-speakers in Germany is TKS. TKSSurf! Internet service has many
competitively priced plans that have no contractual obligations and offers
subscribers full service, over-the-phone technical support in English.
