RTL+ Streaming Campaing (HD picture quality and seasons 5 through 9):

The current streaming offer of "Falcon Crest" on RTL+ (Germany, Austria and Switzerland) contains seasons 1 through 4 in poor picture quality.
 
Like "Dallas", which has been streaming in new picture quality on RTL+ for some time, WARNER BROS. has completed remastering "Falcon Crest" in HD picture quality in the meantime. Unfortunately, this excellent new picture has not been made available to the public yet.
 
An RTL+ press representative advised us to start a campaign, so fans can show their interest in both the HD picture quality and seasons 5 through 9. The company's decision to obtain more expensive licenses to stream the remaining seasons and to get the whole series in HD will depend on the fans' interest. Please write to RTL+ soon. We prepared an e-mail template in German language (since RTL+ is available in German-speaking countries only). You can use the following link, which will open in your e-mail software (optimized for Microsoft Outlook):
