Hi guys,
I'm studying question about getting English speaking television here in Switzerland. I don't like idea with satellite television.

Is anybody from Uk can advice me streaming television? I mean I will get coded TV signal via internet and decode it with some device (payed subscription). I might suppose it should be wide presented on TV market.

Why nobody speak about this way of getting TV here?

Zattoo.com has several UK English channels, and is free, although subscriptions are invited for better quality picture and no ads.

However it appears they are having a connection/server problem at the moment - which is very rare, normally.

I use zattoo quite a bit and also have a registered account. I have a very fast internet account (for switzerland) and can say if you sign up and pay the video is not much better than the free version, this is unless you have a slow connection. I also "hotspot" my phone to give me an internet connection via my ipad (not 3g) and the video is still very good.

With a pay account its very quick to switch channels, this is good because they dont always show what is on each channel in the menu.
