Mediathek for Mac

Mediathek is a German application that allows users to search and download videos from the online portals of German channels such as ARD, ZDF, 3sat, ARTE, and WDR. While this application may not be useful for most English speakers, it can be a handy tool for those living in Germany or with access to German channels who want to download programs from ZDF, WDR, 3sat, and more.

However, it is important to note that Mediathek is primarily designed for the German market and the interface is in German. This can make it a bit tricky to use for non-German speakers, as the search box and download buttons are not translated. Users will need to know the exact channel and program they are looking for to effectively use the application.

Despite the language barrier, Mediathek offers some useful features. It allows users to download programs, offers a subscribe to series feature, and includes program information. However, it lacks the ability to convert downloads into different formats.

If you are looking to download programming from German channels, Mediathek is a solid application to consider. Just be prepared for the language barrier and the need for specific program knowledge.
