    Watching the Arsenal game on Bein Sports and a message has scrolled across the screen to say ARD/ZDF will not be allowed to show the World Cup FTA on Hotbird. Any other restrictions that anyone knows about?

ZDF/ARD are media rights licensees for the 2014 FIFA World Cup™ for the German territory only. As such, their broadcasts will be available in the German language and restricted to Germany. beIN Sports is the exclusive Media Rights Licensee for the Middle East and Northern Africa.
