I’ve just received a press release from Zattoo announcing their new channels:

We are really pleased to let you know that Zattoo, the live TV to PC platform, which launched in beta last year, is significantly extending its channel line-up today.

It is the first time that all five terrestrial channels – BBC 1 & 2, ITV 1, Channel 4 and Channel 5 – have been accessible live from one media player. For BBC 1 & 2 and ITV 1 the Zattoo player also allows to opt-in to 4 regional versions.

The service has gone from strength to strength and now boasts over 25 channels, including hobbyist programming from AutoMoto TV and The Poker Channel and current affairs from BBC News 24 and EuroNews.  We’ve even revamped our website: www.zattoo.com.

We hope you enjoy the player – feel free to make suggestions on how we can improve the service.

All the best

The Zattoo team
