Why are shipments after 0:00 AM counted towards the current day?
Assuming a program is running on Friday night at 0:05 AM. In the TV Pro Apps, however, this program appears in the listing on Thursday at 0:05 AM. Why is that?
For the TV day, it is assumed that the TV day starts at 5 AM and lasts until 4:59 AM the next day.
Two reasons:
- If you look in the listing for what’s running on Thursday evening, say from 11 PM, you also want to see the programs that start at 0:05 AM. You "think" it’s still "Thursday evening". Therefore, programs after midnight are also counted as Thursday.
- It is based on the "wake cycle", i.e. until you go to bed (hopefully before 5 AM!) programs are counted to the day you got up, i.e. are awake. A program at 2 AM is therefore still counted to the mentioned Thursday and not (calendarically correct) to Friday. Friday contains all programs until Saturday morning at 4:59 AM. From 5 AM the new TV day then starts.
No shipments are displayed on a day. What can I do?
If no programs are displayed for an entire day or for a channel, there is likely an error loading the data. To fix the problem, please try reloading the day. If this does not improve:
In the TV Pro settings (gear icon), tap on the “TV Pro Cloud” section and tap “Delete program data on this device”. TV Pro will now download all program data again.

Is TV Pro an alternative to magazines like TV Spielfilm, Hörzu, TV Movie and TV Digital?
A clear yes! TV Pro is definitely a full alternative to the normal TV magazine. The completely digital TV Pro App not only combines all the advantages that a classic TV magazine also offers, but also dispenses with the disadvantages. This allows you to cancel your TV newspaper subscription without a guilty conscience.
Thanks to environmentally friendly, digital technology, the TV Pro App saves a lot of CO2, compared to conventional TV magazines. This means that no trees are felled, and no mountains of paper need to be elaborately printed, transported and ultimately disposed of. In terms of environmental protection, TV Pro is clearly the better alternative to TV Spielfilm & Co.
In addition, the program data is always up to date, unlike the TV magazine subscription. Nice side effect: The annual fee for the TV magazine alternative is also far below the price of a conventional TV newspaper subscription. Nothing stands in the way of canceling the TV magazine.

How does TV Pro view the topic of advertising in the app? Why is TV Pro not ad-free after the in-app purchase?
Many app providers finance themselves as follows: They flood the free version of the app with advertising so that you can "buy yourself free" from advertising with the paid version. We call that extortion. Interestingly, this is often done by providers such as traditional publishers who desperately try to monetize their old magazine offerings digitally: without attractive features, without understanding of mobile platforms. If the revenue is then not high enough, the free version is increasingly flooded. We don't think much of that.
Our advertising principles are as follows:
Advertising "No-Gos":
- No overlay advertising that you have to "tap away" ("Find the close box")
- No full-screen preroll clips for games and other advertising trash
- No advertising timers ("Banner/video must be viewed for at least 10 seconds until you find the close box")
- No permanent occupation of the screen by advertising
- No combinations/chains of the aforementioned on buttons and functions of the app
We are for:
- Target group-relevant advertising, in the form of hints and banners
- No "flooding" with advertising in the free version
- No "buying" of advertising freedom in the paid version
