ServusTV On is the Austrian channel owned by Red Bull Media House, and it is completely free, funded by advertising rather than a subscription. The snag is geography. Since the German linear channel closed at the end of 2023 and the Astra satellite feed ended in February 2025, ServusTV On is locked to 1 country: Austria. Try to open it from Germany, Switzerland or anywhere else and the player simply turns you away, even though the programming is in German. The only barrier is the Austrian geo-block, not a paywall.
The fix is a reliable VPN. Connect through Surfshark to a server in Austria, open the free ServusTV On app, and the live stream and on-demand library load as if you were sitting in Salzburg. You get MotoGP, alpine documentaries such as Bergwelten and Terra Mater, and regional culture, all at no cost. Picture quality runs up to 1080p, which a normal home line handles easily.

ServusTV is the Austrian commercial broadcaster owned by Red Bull Media House (a Red Bull GmbH subsidiary), created in 2009 by rebranding the smaller Salzburg TV. Its mix is distinctive: top-tier motorsport (Formula 1 for Austrian and Bavarian audiences, MotoGP), the FIFA World Cup, live Europa League and Conference League football, alpine documentaries and cultural programming. The ServusTV On live stream and catch-up are free and ad-financed but geo-restricted to the DACH region, with an optional paid pass that removes ads.
