Zattoo expands HD channel offering
Just in time for the European Soccer Championship, Zattoo is significantly expanding its selection of HD channels for paying subscribers. In addition, the Internet TV provider is increasing the resolution for users of its free TV service.
From now on, all HD channels of the public broadcasters in Germany and Switzerland are available to Zattoo HiQ subscribers. Das Erste, ZDF, Arte, Kika, 3Sat, Phoenix, BR, NDR, SWR, WDR, ZDF Info, ZDF Neo, ZDF Kultur are broadcast in HD resolution in Germany. In Switzerland, the HD versions of SF1, SF Zwei, RTS Un, RTS Deux, RSI La1 and RSI La2 will also be broadcast. This writes Zattoo in a statement on Friday. With a Video Web TV Box, the high-definition channels can also be watched directly on the TV. This means that for the first time in Germany, 15 million households with analog or DVB-T television will receive all the new free HD channels without having to upgrade to a digital cable connection.
Users of the ad-financed free version will also enjoy a higher resolution. For the duration of the European Football Championship, Zattoo is broadcasting all channels in almost double the resolution, which was previously reserved for HiQ subscribers.
