Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Sat1.de appears to have moved over to a beta site for the time being. The address now starts with beta.sat1.de. As this is different to what youtube-dl expects, it is now unable to understand the site and download from it.

Thanks for fixing this so quickly. Just a heads up, it looks like they are planning to add a login system to watch the videos. Not sure if it will have any effect on youtube-dl or not but it's something to keep an eye on.
