Zattoo has launched a service in several European countries that allows users to stream terrestrial TV channels from their own countries (plus a few others fromabroad) to the computers. The legal service uses a proprietary player, which is available as a free download, and works on both PC and Mac. Currently available in Belgium, Denmark, France,Germany, Norway, Spain, Switzerland, and the UK, the company has big plans to expand not only the number of countries included, but also the number of continents. It works as a peer-to-peernetwork, with the watched program flowing from one computer to another. In the UK, viewers can catch a total of 29 channels, including all five terrestrials, BBC3 and BBC 4, Al-Jazeera, ABC News Now, as well as news from France and Germany and, most importantly for some, the PokerChannel. Alexandra Illes, manager for Zattoo in the UK, said: “People often have to compromise their viewing choices with other household members, such as their flatmates orpartner,. Zattoo helps eliminate this as anyone with a computer and internet connection can watch TV via the internet. It’s just like owning another TV.”
