If you are one to be super hyped-up on German public TV....ARD and ZDF have finally consolidated their 'library' into one single unit (250,000 programs and movies).
So you can sit there and do video-streaming with their products....via your Tab, laptop or smart-phone/smart-TV.
A big deal? Well, public TV in Germany can now say they have the functionality similar to Netflix.
The one benefit that I see? To be honest....for about ten weeks in summer, virtually everything on public and commercial TV in Germany....are reruns. I can truthfully say, over the past ten days, with the exception of soccer games.....the menu offered is 'crap'. So I've used ARD's media library and Netflix a good bit.
As for this being a big deal for most Germans? I'd say that around a quarter of Germans are currently NOT savvy enough to grasp the smart-TV functionality and they probably will never use it. Probably forty-percent of Germans will tell you that there's nothing they see of interest in the 250,000 programs and movies.
