Swiss based OTT service Zattoo has relaunched its live streaming online TV service.
The new look Zattoo claims to be faster and has started to offer recommendations for viewers in Germany. This feature has been available to subscribers in Switzerland for some time and is now also available in Germany.
Zattoo said its new player automatically recognises the device on which it is accessed, be it a computer, smart phone or tablet, and automatically adjusts the live streams for optimal viewing.
Users of the Zattoo HiQ premium service can also use the arrow keys on their keyboard for faster zapping between channels and, in the case of Swiss subscribers, can also use the Restart function. This allows viewers to go back to the beginning of a programme.
“The relaunch represents an important milestone for Zattoo,” said Nick Brambring, CEO of Zattoo, “The new website will help us especially on mobile devices in attracting additional users and with the further improved WebPlayer we our lead over our competitors in terms of performance and functionality.”
Zattoo’s main competitor in the German market will be Swedish Magine, which is currently available in beta for viewers in Germany.
