Internet TV service Zattoo has launched its latest UK channel line-up today, extending on its existing range of channels such as Channel Four, BBC Three and Bloomberg.

The new line up includes Channel 5, AutoMoto TV, The Poker Channel, Information TV, Russia TV, Community Channel and France 24 (in French).

 

Zattoo delivers a live stream, so that the viewing schedule for its channels runs simultaneous with that of TV. The service is accessible through a one-off download of its software player via www.zattoo.com.

 

The company said the player has been developed so it is ‘as close to watching TV as possible’, including a newly introduced Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) and Channel Manager.

 

Alexandra Illes, country manager, Zattoo UK said:, “The introduction of these new channels on to the Zattoo player offers users access to an increased selection of TV entertainment via their PC or laptop.

 

We are committed to providing the most reliable and assorted live IPTV player and we are constantly looking to partner with new broadcasters to extend our entertainment offering.” 

 

The EPG allows people to plan what they want to watch all from the Zattoo player, cancelling the need to refer to channel listings in a newspaper or website.

 

It also includes content summaries and further information about each show.  The Channel Manager offers users the chance to control their channel list and hide channels that they’re not interested in.

 

“Changing channels on Zattoo is as easy as using a remote control and the introduction of our EPG and Channel Manager has made it an even more complete IPTV experience.” Illes continued.

 

Zattoo was founded in the US in 2005 and launched in Switzerland the following year. Since then, the virtual television network has expanded into eight European countries and will also be available in the US later this year. In this short period of time, Zattoo has attracted over 1.8 million users and is growing at a rapid pace.
