Happy Birthday, Zattoo.

by

365 days ago we opened the gates and released Zattoo to the wild. On day one we had 5 downloads. Today, 1 out of 5 broadband Internet users in Switzerland is a Zattoo subscriber. We also grew from 4 to 67 channels, available across different lineups in Switzerland, Denmark and the UK.

We try hard to bring all channels to all countries: if we don’t offer a specific channel in a country, it’s not because we don’t want to – it’s because we can’t (yet). That is also why Zattoo is not available worldwide (yet): we want to show you the top TV channels in every country, not grass-chewing bears

We’re honestly grateful to every single one of you who endured with us various updates, critical bugs and some outages – and hope you’ll stick with us for the ones to come 😉

While we can’t announce now what the next 365 days will bring, we sure can tell you that to celebrate our 1-year birthday we’ll be launching soon in Austria, Belgium, Germany, Poland and Spain. We’ve still a long way to go to world dominance, but the journey to get there promises to be lot of fun.

We’ve still a long way to go to world dominance, but the journey to get there promises to be lot of fun.

    Now that is really some good news, props to you 🙂 SO what does “soon” mean ? 1 day, 1week, 1 month, 1 year ? 😉

  9. win Says:

    Congratulation and happy birthday!!
    But pls release soon for italy 😦

  10. Francesco Says:

    skarox: I kind of expected the first comment to ask “how soon is soon”… Let me say that, of the options you provided, it’s neither 1 day nor 1 year 😉

  11. maxbosk Says:

    Congratulations for the first year!!!

    However, only 3 countries have tested the quality of Zattoo, I hope it grows more rapidly since now.
    According to Sugih Jamin, chairman and CTO of Zattoo, the launch of Zattoo in Austria, Germany, etc will take place in June.

    Someone of Zattoblog could give more details about this prompt launch?
    Soon, but when?

    Many thanks

  12. Frej Jensen Says:

    Is there any intentions and timeframe of releasing in Netherlands ?

  13. Rudi Emch Says:

    Happy Birthday, dear Zattoo folks, and congratulations.
    Considering the diminishing service by certain TV providers, Zattoo is a real blessing.
    Thank you!

  14. Mike Says:

    Congrats to Zattoo on it’s first birthday! Fantastic update for UK viewers with new version – if this is a sign of things to come, bring it on!!

  15. Nicolas Says:

    Happy Birthday from France where people are still waiting for you to provide them with what they really expect from internet television… Let’s hope that in the coming 365 days you’ll be able to launch in France (when you finally find out how to deal with French broadcasting regulation ?)

    Congratulations from spain ;D

    I have discovered this program today and I’m very satisfied. Sometimes the transmission hangs because of insufficient peers and the video resolution could be better, but now I have not to take care of the tv sintonizer anymore. And the better is that it works perfectly on GNU/Linux.

    Thanks guys! : )

  44. Maxijanko Says:

    Zattoo in Spain, fantastic news!

    I have tested Zattoo and it’s amazing, currently, twelve channels but I hope to watch many more in the near future.
    Zattoo is the television of the future, high quality television.

    My congratulations for your hard work.

    Many thanks, Zattoo!!!

  53. Manuel Says:

    Enhorabuena. Ahora hace falta que todos los canales europeos puedan verse en cualquier país de Europa. ¿Qué sentido tiene que en la Unión Europea no podamos ver la televisión de los demás países miembros?

    Congratulations. The next step is to make all European channels available in every country. Why can’t we watch tv channels from all other EU countries?
