5.0 out of 5 stars For foreign mystery lovers that don’t mind subtitles.
Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2022

The MHZ channel is one of my favorite tv apps besides acorn. I love mysteries and am getting hooked on several series from European countries like Spain, France, Italy and the Scandinavian countries. The scenery is beautiful and the stories compelling and I’m getting to know and recognize favorite actors. The subtitles are easy to follow, I don’t find them distracting. Occasionally, you’ll find a mystery where several of the actors use English, but I am really enjoying listening to the language of each country the mystery takes place in. On MHZ you’ll find murder mystery movies, regular series like detective or police series, plus there are some documentaries of the history of European countries. I’m very pleased.

We've watched MHz for many years and "visited"so many countries. Each series has had a great story line and broadens our understanding of other cultures. There's something for everyone. Many of our most-loved series are gone, but just a few of our favorites that are currently being shown are:
The Agatha Christie Collection (French)
Crime Scene Cleaner (Germany) Quirky funny
Donna Leon's Brunetti Mysteries (German) Gorgeous!
Bukow and Konig (German) Also funny
Annika Bengtzon: Crime Reporter (Swedish)
Beck (Swedish) Like Wallender
Irene Huss (Swedish) Love the female detective series
Bullet-Proof Heart (Italian) Sweet
The New Nurses (Danish)
Professor T (German) Think House on steroids
The streaming quality is excellent. The subtitles are excellent, although they do omit four-letter words - you get the idea. MHz is a very welcome break from American TV. For the small monthly charge, it's amazing.

5.0 out of 5 stars European TV, don't fear the subtitles!
Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2020

If you like European TV series, and like viewing the scenery from the comfort of your home, this is for you. And, you can hone your language skills by watching subtitled series. You might be amazed at how many words in Netherlands Dutch are the same in English! Or, you can learn about Italian foods by watching what the actors are making in their set kitchens. Next best thing to being "over there". Most of the shows are police procedurals, crime, murder mysteries, with some "comedies" such as "Crime Scene Cleaner"! There are some historical documentaries of interest. Best viewed in HD on your big TV, but still good on the computer, too.

1.0 out of 5 stars App & Customer Support Both Fail
Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2018
Verified Purchase
I love MHz's catalog offerings but each time we go to watch something, we get an error message (something went wrong) and the only way to get the app working is to uninstall and reinstall it. This consumes a good 15-20 minutes of my time. The first time this happened I immediately wrote to MHz support and have since received two messages. One was an automated response recommending that I consult their support website and advising me, "Main Customer Support Hours: Monday - Friday, 8am - 6pm (EST). While we may respond to tickets outside of this support window, that is not the norm. Off hour emails will be addressed during main customer support hours.". The second was a follow-up message saying, "We do apologize! I’ve escalated your case to our billing and tech support team for review. Please add ‘support@vhx.tv’ to your contact list to ensure messages from support do not end up in your spam folder." I added the support address to my contacts and 30 hours later have had no further response. So much for 'escalating' my case! Since it is now the weekend with their "Main Customer Support Hours: Monday - Friday, 8am - 6pm (EST)." - it looks like it will be another few days of waiting to resolve this problem. I'm not impressed with the app or the support. I am impressed with the content.

4.0 out of 5 stars What I most like about MHZ
Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2020
Verified Purchase
MHZ Choice has some very good programing and my wife and I enjoy watching one episode per evening and sometimes two. Some of our favorites are Detective Montelbano, Young Montelbano, Bulletproof Heart, Captain Marleau, Twin, and Agatha Christie's Criminal Games. The english subtitles more than make up for the Italian, French and Nordic languages, and again the stories are quite good.

Now the bad part is finding the last episode or series that you last watched as the programming is not intuitive even though I have a subscription. I which MHZ Choice would correct this as I can see they must be losing subscribers.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT programs from Europe
Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2018

After cutting the cable cord, I lost the PBS channel showing Mhz programming. For 9 years I watched Mhz on a daily basis. Now with this app I get to really enjoy both old and new programs UNEDITED (except for a few really derogatory words). I'm still on the free trial but I won't mind paying $8/month for this app. All programs are subtitled in English. Series from all over Europe are featured. The programs are not children friendly. Ther are a couple of children friendly documentaries...just a few. I love this app!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars European TV shows plus News in English
Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2018
Verified Purchase
My favorite television comes from MHz Choice. All drama programming is from European countries and provided with subtitles. If you want to brush up on a foreign language, this is the way to do it. An American friend who lived in Italy for years, loves to hear Italian being spoken, and her favorite series is Inspector Manara. Beyond the opportunity to hear Italian, German, Cutch, French, Danish, Swedish, these shows (mostly series) give us a glimpse into the cultures of the countries where they are filmed. Here's one example of the multicultural approach to an American author who writes about an Italian police inspector, filmed in Germany with English subtitles. And then there is news, in English, in the early evening. All give you a cultural boost, a chance to see new scenery, and the opportunity to hear a different point of view when it comes to how the world sees the US.

I thought this was a free service offered on my Fire Stick but when we signed up it wanted a credit card in order to use the free 30 day trial. It seems you have to sign up to get the 30 day trial then if you forget to cancel they keep charging you for it. These streaming services would be better off the give your free 30 days then if you like subscribe.
