We're adding new channels everyday, and soon we'll be worldwide, giving you more channels than you ever got on your TV.

Portability

Zattoo is TV to go! What made us couch potatoes was that we had to watch it there. No more! Thanks to Zattoo, TV goes with you. To work. To the bar where friends are watching the match on the wrong station. Or even into another room at home if the TV is taken. Watch Zattoo wherever you can connect your laptop to the Internet. Off the couch, on the move. Zattoo makes TV as portable and private as your personal computer.

Goodbye TV.
Goodbye, Internet TV.
The future is here: It's Zattoo.

Joost

It's video – more than 15,000 shows, with more added daily.

It's online – all you need is a broadband internet connection.

And it's free. So what are you waiting for?

Joost (IPA pronunciation: [dʒuːst] "juiced") is a system for distributing TV shows and other forms of video over the Web using peer-to-peer TV technology, created by Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis (founders of Skype and Kazaa).

Joost began development in 2006. Working under the code name "The Venice Project", Zennström and Friis assembled teams of some 150 software developers in about six cities around the world, including New York, London, Leiden and Toulouse. Joost's CTO is Dirk-Willem van Gulik.[1] According to Zennström at a 25 July 2007 press conference about Skype held in Tallinn, Estonia, Joost has signed up more than a million beta testers and is on track for an end-of-year launch.[2]

The teams are currently in negotiations with FOX networks. It has signed up with Warner Music, Indianapolis Motor Speedway Productions (Indianapolis 500, IndyCar Series) and production company Endemol for the beta.[3] In February 2007, Viacom entered into a deal with the company to distribute content from its media properties, including MTV Networks, BET and film studio Paramount Pictures.
