Method for selectively outputting multimedia content to a first output unit and via a terminal to a second output unit, - in which a first multimedia content is output to the first output unit; - in which monitoring of a communication to the terminal is performed; - in which the monitoring comprises a reception signal strength and a transmission quality; - in which a request for a second multimedia content is identified; - in which the first multimedia content and at least the request for the second multimedia content are taken as a basis for ascertaining an output criterion, wherein the output criterion is also ascertained on the basis of a result of the monitoring; - in which the output criterion is taken as a basis for forming a third multimedia content from the first multimedia content and from the second multimedia content for provision for the terminal for output to the second output unit; - in which the output criterion is taken as a basis for forming a fourth multimedia content from the first multimedia content and from the second multimedia content for output to the first output unit; wherein the second multimedia content is a video text, wherein if the communication with the terminal has sufficiently high levels of interference then the output criterion is ascertained such that the video text is output as an overlay or window via the first output unit, and wherein if the communication has sufficiently low levels of interference again or is perfect then the output criterion is ascertained such that the video text is automatically no longer output as an overlay or window, but instead the video text is provided for the terminal. - in which a first multimedia content is output to the first output unit; - in which monitoring of a communication to the terminal is performed; - in which the monitoring comprises a reception signal strength and a transmission quality; - in which a request for a second multimedia content is identified; - in which the first multimedia content and at least the request for the second multimedia content are taken as a basis for ascertaining an output criterion, wherein the output criterion is also ascertained on the basis of a result of the monitoring; - in which the output criterion is taken as a basis for forming a third multimedia content from the first multimedia content and from the second multimedia content for provision for the terminal for output to the second output unit; - in which the output criterion is taken as a basis for forming a fourth multimedia content from the first multimedia content and from the second multimedia content for output to the first output unit; wherein the second multimedia content is a video text, wherein if the communication with the terminal has sufficiently high levels of interference then the output criterion is ascertained such that the video text is output as an overlay or window via the first output unit, and wherein if the communication has sufficiently low levels of interference again or is perfect then the output criterion is ascertained such that the video text is automatically no longer output as an overlay or window, but instead the video text is provided for the terminal.
