ARD Mediathek Customer Insights

1. Video playback cannot be restarted.Die App/Mediathek ist wenig hilfreich und qualitativ nicht sehr hochwertig.

2. Ton minderwertig, da nur eine kastrierte AAC Tonspur, Dolby wird nicht angeboten, an 5.1 ist gleich gar nicht zu denken (z.

3. diagonale Linien, Farbverläufe, Sonnenuntergang, Taschenlampe im Keller etc.). Spulen ist unzulänglich und mit Verzögerungen.

4. Stops playing any video after 1-2min.

5. Bildqualität deutlich schlechter als bei der SAT Übertragung (z.

6. Lauchhammer - Tod in der Lausitz).

7. Da ist ein Videorecorder doch wesentlich zielführender.
