Zattoo - online TV which requires their free software - now added BBC1 to its range of free stations which already included ITV1.

Just tried it and BBC 1 works fine. Match of the day here we come..

Picture is ok if a little small but it the picture seems to break up. Cpu load doesn't seem too high most of the time (but does have peaks) so I guess its due to lack of bandwidth

ITV1 is now free to view on Zattoo

Thank you for this. Good to have access to BBC again. Also, just managed to reprogramme the DVD player this afternoon to watch Zone 1 discs - so all in all a pretty good day on the mastering technology front.

Hi Willmax - welcome to the Forum, nice ad

More UK TV has been added:-

BBC3, BBC4, BBC News 24, CHannel 4, Cbeebies and CBBC.

Cannot verify, since I am not in CH.

www.zattoo.com

Is this completely free?? Had a look and can't see where it says to pay?

Mine only shows bbc1 and I have the latest version.

Yes its free - You just register and download the software

Not on my Zatto they're not, only BBC1 and BBC World, where did you hear that? And Mikey Broomers, it is free and the quality is pretty impressive.

The icons are on the Zattoo.com website, presently in Holland and have no access.

On my www.zattoo.com those icons are lacking. Strange.

I can only get BBC1 too. MOTD tomorrow night so don't miss it.

PS I have even started watching Eastenders

Now the BBC1 icon has disappeared from their homepage!

And my player now crashes when starting up so I do not know whether BBC has truly disappeared

No, it's working fine here. I never had the BBC1 Icon on the home page before anyway but it shows on my player.

I could not get Zattoo running on 64bit Vista. I had so much expectations otherwise.

Still working for me at the moment. Hope it hangs in there for the FA Cup football this weekend.

You probably know this already but the BBC1 icon is on the list of channels that comes up to the side of the Zattoo Screen. Often its difficult to see unless you move the cursor. I did not see the BBC1 icon when I checked the website a couple of weeks ago.

Hope this helps

If I take my laptop home (UK) i get all the other UK channels mentioned above on Zattoo, In Switzerland I only get BBC1, BBC World & ITV1.

Zattoo shows different channels depending on the location of your IP address.

It's also possible now with the most recent Zattoo update to customize the list of channels to show only the ones you want to watch from the available list. I think it's a great wee bit of software.
