A representative survey shows that the summer fairy tale could be canceled not only for weather-related reasons. Tickets are too expensive for most fans, and many also want to avoid public mass events, for example for fear of terrorist attacks. Instead, they are considering keeping their fingers crossed for the teams with friends and acquaintances at a private public event. After all, Germans are more positive about the European Football Championship in their country after the controversial World Cup in Qatar.

Personal fan miles
In order to experience football games together without access to the stadium or a public viewing, fans want to meet with friends on private fan miles – i.e. in the living room at home, in a neighbour’s garden or in the pub next door. This was the result of a recent study by the University of Hohenheim. Interesting result of the survey: According to co-study director Tom Huhnke, employers are now more tolerant than in previous tournaments. Respondents therefore expect to use around 24 minutes of their working day on EM topics.
From June 14, ARD and ZDF will broadcast all the games of the German team as well as the semi-finals and final on free TV. To show the games in the group, you will need either a large television or a bright projector. We have put together in the article “Big screens for private fan miles” which devices are recommended for this and what you should consider when making your choice.
If you want to project the TV image onto a large format screen on a personal fan mile, you need a bright projector and an external TV receiver with HDMI input.

Because if you don’t watch in the living room with the windows closed, you run the risk of the neighbours cheering beforehand – which is especially annoying during penalty shootouts.
Reception is possible via classic DVB reception channels via satellite, cable or DVB-T2, or via TV reception over the Internet with a streaming stick for HDMI input and a suitable app. But be careful: If you use the wrong app, you will lag behind other reception methods with latency of up to one and a half minutes.
For a smart television you do not need an external player, as it already has a tuner built in and also has various streaming apps available. For big screen projection a compact DVB-T2 receiver or a streaming device such as the FireTV Stick is recommended. What you should consider when choosing hardware and streaming apps and which method ensures the fastest reception can be found in the article “Streaming on the private fan mi”.
