Nach welcher Logik entschieden wird, welche Sender zur Verfügung stehen oder welche nicht, ist mir als Nutzer natürlich unklar, aber ärgerlich ist es dennoch. Leider werden mit dem Assistenten nicht immer alle passenden Filme aufgenommen, etwa bei Hörfilmen. Und der Speicher scheint mir zu klein. Und ich habe immer noch das Gefühl, das die Hörfilme immer noch nur mit der Tonspur ohne Filmspur aufgenommen werden. Ein Problem, das vor längerem schon mal angemerkt wurde. Und in der App fehlt eine Möglichkeit Aufnahmen downloaden oder etwa in einen Onlinespeicher wie Dropbox zu sichern. ### 1/5 — Scam für iOS Nutzer trotz aktueller Updates *2026-05-06* Seit etwa einem Jahr SCAM für  Nutzer - läuft nicht korrekt und wird seit Herbst 2025 nicht behoben - jetzt gab es Updates für iOS & tvOS - allerdings wurde keines der Probleme behoben. Die Kommunikation mit der Firma läuft schleppend - telefonisch nicht zu erreichen-per Mail wird man nur vertröstet und hingehalten. Absolut nicht mehr zu empfehlen, egal was man hier seitens des Unternehmens schreibt. Jetzt gab es tatsächlich nach Ewigkeiten zwei Updates - beide haben das Problem in kleinster Weise behoben - die App ist noch immer Mist und in keinster Weise wie in der App beschrieben mit TV kompatibel - auch wenn Netlantic das behauptet! Es ist und bleibt BETRUG AM KUNDEN! Neue Anläufe, das Problem zu beheben wurden und werden nicht mehr unternommen - der Kunde bleibt ohne Nutzen der App auf seinen Kosten sitzen. Und der Hinweis auf den Support bringt gar nichts - außer dass man belogen und hingehalten wird. **Developer response:** Update: Lieber Mark, wir sind froh das Problem tatsächlich gefunden zu haben. Es handelt sich überraschenderweise um einen iOS 26/26.1 Bug. Dieser bezieht sich auf das Decoding of HD Inhalten mit 50fps - wie bei YouTV. Wir stehen mit Apple bereits in Verbindung, damit Apple das Problem möglichst rasch beheben kann. Trotzdem: wir haben einen Weg gefunden, das Problem zu umgehen. Die Videorekorder unserer Nutzer wurden nach intensiver Arbeit in den letzten Tagen aktualisiert. Somit sollte mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit auch dein Videorekorder aktualisiert worden sein. Einfach testen und Feedback unter support@youtv.de berichten. Hinweis: es betrifft alle HD Aufnahmen die ab 21. November ~14:00 Uhr gemacht wurden. Lieber Mark, gerne versuchen wir zu helfen. Was verstehst du denn unter „stürzt ab“ bei der Wiedergabe deiner Aufnahmen? Schließt sich die YouTV App? Das sollte natürlich nicht passieren. Hattest du uns diesbezüglich auch schon unter support@youtv.de kontaktiert? Wir bedauern deine Enttäuschung, aber können dir versichern, dass Großes in der Mache ist. Wir haben uns entschieden mehr Ressourcen in die ganz neue App zu investieren, bevor wir die alte stark erweitern. Trotzdem sollte die alte App reibungslos funktionieren. Gib uns doch bitte Bescheid! ### 1/5 — Great idea, bad technology *2026-02-04* The idea is great but this company should invest more into their technology. Lots of problems - even with a very good WiFi and not the highest quality it stops all the time while watching - unusable! The company is arrogant not even answering on comments and complaints. It’s all about earning money , not about providing a good service as it should be Update: Don’t trust them - their answer here is just a lie!!!! No problem is solved or will be solved in near future! They just want your money! **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! We are happy to announce that we found for the reason for that. The reason for unexpected stopped playback is a bug in iOS 26+26.1 on HD files with 50fps. We are in touch with Apple and delivered all information so they can fix this very soon. Even more: we are updating all PVR systems of our users to an enhanced packaging to avoid the bug in iOS 26. We are pretty sure your PVR is updated too. If you need another trial period to test, just contact us at support@youtv.de. We will give you another free trial! ### 1/5 — Great idea, bad technology *2026-01-04* The idea is great but this company should invest more into their technology.
