Turkish TV in a Tesla (Germany, Netherlands, Europe)
Watch TRT 1, ATV, Kanal D and other Turkish channels live in your Tesla in Germany, the Netherlands or elsewhere in Europe. No app, setup with a QR code.
Short answer: To watch Turkish TV in a Tesla in Germany or elsewhere in Europe, open tescast.app in the car browser and scan the QR code with your phone. tescast relays 90 Turkish channels from its server in Istanbul, so the channel list is the same outside Turkey. The interface is Turkish and prices are in lira.
tescast is a web app that plays live TV, YouTube and your own IPTV list in the Tesla browser. If you live in Germany, the Netherlands, Austria or another European country, you use the same channel list as in Turkey. You need no satellite dish, set-top box or app.
Why do Turkish channels work outside Turkey?
The tescast server in Istanbul receives the Turkish channels. Your car only connects to tescast.app and gets the stream from there. So TRT 1, ATV, Kanal D, Show TV and the other channels show up in the same list wherever you are. See the full channel list.
Some broadcasters do not show some programmes, often football matches, on their internet stream. The channel then shows a "no broadcast rights" screen. tescast does not get around this. The same happens in Turkey.
