Zattoo is a popular provider in the live TV sector and offers you over 160 different TV channels. But live TV also has a big catch. When you watch, you are tied to a fixed broadcast schedule. So what do you do when everyday life gets in the way but you still don’t want to miss your favorite show?
Fortunately, Zattoo has several functions that solve this problem. Zattoo’s pause, restart and record functions allow you to watch TV at a later time. This way, you can enjoy live TV at a different, more convenient time. Here we will explain how to use the individual functions and what the advantages are.
Record programs and save them in the cloud
If you have subscribed to the paid Zattoo Ultimate package, you have the option of recording up to 100 programs and saving them in a specially provided cloud. This means that your recordings are available across all devices. If two interesting programs share the same broadcast slot, you can simply record one of the two programs for later and watch the other at the same time.
To record a show, simply open the description of a show in the program guide and then click on “Record” so that the show is saved in your account. For series fans, there is also the option of recording the entire series. To do this, simply click on an episode and select “Series recording”. This will automatically record all ep isodes of the series for you.
But what do you do when your recording storage is full? The solution is the Recordings Plus package. This gives you 50 more recordings. This increases your recording limit to 150. However, the package costs you an additional $1.99 per month.
Time-shifted television with the restart function
Even if you forget to record a program for later, Zattoo offers a solution for watching content at a later time. During the broadcast of a program, you can restart it at any time and start again from the beginning.
To do this, select the respective program in the program overview and click on the 3-dot icon next to the program. Now select “Watch from the beginning” and the content will be played from the beginning. However, you need a paid subscription such as Zattoo Premium or Zattoo Ultimate for this function.
Pause broadcasts with Live Pause
With Live Pause you can pause the Zattoo program at any time and then continue it at a later time. So if someone calls you at an exciting point in a program or you want to quickly go to the toilet in between, you can pause the broadcast and continue it at a later time.
This way you won’t miss any crucial scenes. Please note, however, that you will need a paid subscription to Zattoo for this feature.
Convenience functions only available with a paid subscription
As already mentioned, you only get Zattoo’s convenient functions such as live pause, restart and recordings if you have subscribed to the appropriate paid TV package. We offer you an overview of all Zattoo packages and options in a separate section.
However, there is the option to test Zattoo for free. You can either use the trial month or subscribe to the free package. We will explain both options to you. If you are unsure whether the live TV provider’s offer is right for you, you can also consult our detailed test report on Zattoo.
