That’s what Swisscom says, VPN is not mentioned!

Can I also use Swisscom TV Air abroad?
For legal reasons, Swisscom TV can only be received and watched live within Switzerland.
However, you can use recordings and Replay TV abroad if you have this function activated. This means you can watch programs or films that you missed or recorded even abroad. The condition is that the program has already been broadcast on TV or has been recorded in full.
Installationen, Netzwerk, Internet, Computertechnik, OS Windows, Apple und Linux.
This risk actually doesn’t exist because outside of your home network the FB function has no connection with the TV-Box.
To do it intentionally, you would first have to connect to the home network via a VPN connection and then consciously start the TV-Box using the remote control function of TV Air - this doesn’t just happen by mistake…

With the remote control function of the TV Air app you can control the TV-Box remotely, without WiFi and without VPN. I can even see on the app which show is currently being watched at home. But you have to do this consciously, it doesn’t happen accidentally.
Since I completely disconnect the TV-Box from the power supply when not in use, I also have double security against unintentional startup.
The reason for my request was because while watching Air TV I accidentally pressed the TV instead of the Air Play symbol in the top right and then started the box and TV in the living room. The two symbols are also relatively close together. Of course it wouldn’t be so nice if I was abroad on business and the TV suddenly came on at home.
It would also be worth mentioning that when you confirm the power bottom in the Air app remote control, the box switches off but the TV (Samsung, 8 year old) disconnects the anynet connection and continues to run in TV mode (cable network). I then have to switch the remote control on and off using the correct TV box.
Hello @ma_tinguely
Being physically in Switzerland does not necessarily mean that you are on a Swiss network. Could you specify with which device you use TV Air and with which connection/network?

@ma_tinguely Hello
Are you logged in to the Swisscom TV account permanently?
If so, log out and delete your Safari browsing history and that’s it.

Hello!
I have the same problem as @ma_tinguely except that I haven’t traveled for months. I have the TV air application, but I still tried the trick from @Doremi, thinking that it would solve the problem: without success. “For legal matters….” is always displayed; no matter what channel I want to watch “live”. This thing is still weird! What to do? Thanks for your help.
Hello @“x”#553063 and @Leimitzo81, thank you for your contributions.
In addition to the answer from @Doremi, can you also test TV Air on another internet browser and check that you are logging in with the correct Swisscom Login?
Thank you for your feedback and have a good afternoon,
