German term or phrase: Betaversion
"xxx TV wird vorerst als *Betaversion* mit den Grundfunktionen: eigene Programmübersicht, Top10 und Filmsuche ausgestattet."
Context is Internet TV. I know that this probably translates to "beta version, but have no idea what it means.

agree  Richard Benham: It's the version of a program or whatever that's almost ready for release, and is often actually released for adventurous users to test before it becomes the production version.
