After connecting the box to my somewhat older flatscreen television has access to the Internet, online portals and plenty of media libraries. The menu system is easy and quick to navigate clearly and by remote control. Occasionally, the box crashes, which is just pull by plug to eliminate, but the my Sky decoder happens and felt more often and much more inappropriate moments.
If one then begins to navigate through the various portals, quickly spreads disillusionment. Youtube is quite nice, the videos are not suitable from the quality of the big TV and search for videos is - like surfing via TV browser - with the remote control a torment.
The media libraries of ARD and ZDF are well filled, but not with the things that I had hoped: Terra X, dandelions and historical documentaries. The offers of the private stations are much thinner, but it does not even cross-financed by the enormous GEZ fees.
The presentation of performance even with "only" nearly 16Mbit dropouts freely and in angenhem good quality.
The movies in the HD movie library is lean usual - many will not, and the focus is on a handful of alleged Blockbuster. Even the (rental) price seems too high for an online offering of its kind, especially in direct comparison to the unfortunately increasingly endangered local video stores. This is not an exclusive problem of the Mediabox, but rather online sales channels generally in Germany, but interferes with in connection with a particularly MediaBox.
Good works the VideoWeb TV Box However as Network Player or Streaming Platform in a purpose-built network or via USB port docked hard drives or memory sticks. Who has so far had no PS3 or a suitably equipped TV, will know these opportunities to appreciate rapidly.
Finally, to point out that the use of the device requires registration, but then in return inform regularly about updates and new features via e-mail, without this occurring in the incidence of spamming. Extensions of content and offer the Platt From previously done surprisingly common and give the user with regelmäsigen Sichheit the opportunity for new and interesting to discover. For me one of the most positive experiences in the use of what was clearly criticized by others, however, already well (on data protection).
The VideoWeb TV Box is a decent product, with a forgivable technical quirks and a rather simple design. I stood for a few days, however, the question of why I so need one device at a price - a connected laptop or a PS3 grant me all the important functions also and this and at least as good, and browsing through the online libraries of the public service private channels quickly loses its fascination. The value of this product is absolutely in the eye of the beholder, and you should make before seriously considering whether the contents justify the price. It leads us to a positive conclusion, the VideoWeb TV Box is certainly a product that you should take a closer look.
