"Ben King, chief subscription officer at DAZN Group, said; “Research shows us that pay TV customers in Germany prefer to watch the majority of their video entertainment via their pay TV set-top-box. We appreciate that by asking them to switch to a secondary device to watch Bundesliga, Champions League or NFL has been placing an unnecessary obstacle between them and the sports they love."

Isn't that the problem Eleven Sports had in the UK? They couldn't secure a carriage deal for any of the major TV platforms. Think DAZN will have the same problem.
DAZN have been quite active in getting onto STBs... I know they have carriage on Sky in Italy & Germany and set up a whole new strategy called ‘DAZN For Operators’ after they launched on Comcast’s STBs in the US.

(They also set up a linear channel on Sky in Italy called DAZN1 which may prove controversial to some people in this forum!)
