Signing up with a German cable TV provider is one of the easiest task there is.

The only thing you should do is compare the prices for cable TV available in your area so you don’t pay unnecessarily too much for German cable TV.

There are two things about the availability of certain German cable TV providers.

First of all, some of the cable TV providers only operate in certain areas like Primacom or Kabel BW. If you are living outside their business area you obviously can’t sign up with them.

Luckily the major German cable TV providers like Kabel Deutschland are available nationwide.

The second point is a bit trickier. If you are living in an apartment building you need to read your rental agreement carefully. There is the possibility that your landlord has signed an exclusivity agreement with a certain cable TV provider. In this case you have no choice and need to sign up with this cable provider.
