How to Access Swiss Streaming Services, Network Websites, and Apps from Anywhere in the World?
Many popular Swiss streaming services, network websites, and apps limit their content to users within Switzerland due to licensing agreements and copyright laws. They utilize geolocation technology that identifies users’ locations via their IP addresses.
A Virtual Private Network, or VPN, helps you bypass these restrictions. A VPN changes your apparent location by replacing your IP address with one from a server located in Switzerland. This way, Swiss streaming services will recognize you as a viewer from Switzerland, letting you enjoy your favorite Swiss shows.
To watch Swiss TV from anywhere using Shellfire VPN, follow these steps:
- Download the Shellfire VPN software that’s compatible with your device.
- Install the Shellfire VPN software on your device.
- Open the application and select Switzerland as your target country and server location.

Comparing Swiss and International Content Libraries
The digital entertainment landscapes vary significantly between Switzerland and other countries due to different licensing agreements. Here are some notable differences:
Streaming Platforms: Netflix and Amazon Prime
Global platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime cater differently to Swiss and international audiences:
- Netflix: While Netflix operates globally, the Swiss version includes local shows like “Freud” and “Banking District” that might not be available in other regions.
- Amazon Prime: Amazon Prime Switzerland features unique local content, such as “Der Bestatter” and “Wilder,” that typically isn’t accessible in other countries.
It’s important to note that we at Shellfire currently cannot guarantee the correct functioning of our service with Netflix due to potential changes in Netflix’s VPN detection and blocking mechanisms.
Swiss Sports Programming
Swiss broadcasts of sporting events, particularly ice hockey matches from the National League, offer additional coverage, unique commentary, and special features not available internationally.
Swiss Network Websites and Apps
Swiss network websites and apps, like SRF, RTS, and RSI, offer exclusive content that’s typically inaccessible from outside Switzerland. Popular shows like “Der Bestatter” (SRF) and “Pardonnez-moi!” (RTS) are directly available on these platforms.
Here’s a handy reference table of some popular Swiss TV channels that offer online streaming, both free and paid. Remember, accessing some of these services might require a VPN if you’re streaming from outside Switzerland.
