I live in Montreal and ORFTVthek gives me the opportunity to watch news and shows with Austrian content. It is disappointing however that many programs cannot be watched in North America due to copyright etc. In such cases I try to find these programs on other Apps like 3Sat Mediathek, ARD etc. Ich würde gerne alte österreichische Filme sehen.

Even though the other reviewers' complaints about the apps limitations are understandable, the limitations, even though a disappointment, are perhaps equally as understandable. Often specific content requires specific legal license agreements which are not always easy to maneuver around. Nonetheless, perhaps ORF can work on those and look at their German neighbors ARD, ZDF etc... on the hand, the ORF app allows for live streaming of some content whereas ARD and ZDF do not have that feature. Overall I am pleased and happy to now regularly consume home content for free. Thank you.

Yes some, mostly Sports events are blocked, but a great App to keep up with the Austrians...

First I want to say that this is a great app and I can highly recommend it! Both content and quality of programs is great. There is only one small issue which annoys me. When watching shows on the Apple TV via AirPlay, the show stops once the iPad goes into sleep mode. I think this would be a small fix. A workaouround is to disbale to sleep mode. Keep on the great work!

Well I love Mediothec,sitting here inCalifornia often "homesick"
Love the movies from Austria ,Heimatfilme
But a lot of times you will not show the films only in Austria ,and I know no one over there will watch a film made in Austria ,moreUSA
So tell me why do you advertise the program and than not show it ,makes no sense.

I love being able to see what is on TV. My Mom lives in Enzesfeld and I live in the Northeastern USA. I find it gives us something to talk about. Sometimes I even get to tell her what is coming up to watch. We both like music shows - especially Volksmusik. However, lots of times you don't allow for these to be seen outside Austria. That makes me have to find a different way to watch if even possible. That defeats the purpose for having ORFTVthek at all. Can that be remedied?

Ist ein sehr guter App
By maxfxmusic
Very slow servers - very long loading time. Even with high speed cable internet (25mbit up and down) highest quality not possible. Compared to other mediatheks (Germany or Austrian private networks) very poor quality. App AND website need a lot of work.

Works very well. HD video quality would be nice to see in near future.

Einer der schlechtesten App quer durch Europa. Typisch ORF. Zeit für Reform!

Schlechter als man sich vorstellen kann
By juhynmko34
First rate content but compared to YouTube slow and unreliable loading of content. Would also be great if content would be available for longer than 7 days. It really needs an upgrade!

Why does Zib always tell me that the live stream will start in 0.51 or 0.45 or whatever minutes when its already 19.32h??? Recently I was unable to watch the first minutes of Zib. pls fix this!

Update April 2017: nichts hat sich geändert, immer noch beschissen. Leider!
Update: now 95% of videos blocked when trying to watch in the USA. ZDF and ARD apps have no restrictions. Horrible!
Update: immer mehr Limits, seit Jahren kein Update. Mittlerweile einfach nutzlos! Hätte als Auslandsösterreicher gerne Zugriff zu aktuellen Beiträgen aus der alten Heimat. Als Deutscher kein Problem, ZDF und ARD Apps sind einfach, schnell und zuverlässig. Wie wärs mit einer Überarbeitung? Man muss ja nicht immer schlechter als die Deutschen sein oder?
nette Idee aber in den USA sind die meisten Filme leider nicht abrufbar. warum können das der ZDF und ARD aber nicht ORF (z.b. Tatort)?
