Belgium: Feeding the News and Car Junkie in You
Posted 29 February 2008 by helen in Announcements, Belgium, Channels
Do you really know what’s going on with your money? Are you sure it’s parked in the right place? And how is the company that you’re working for REALLY doing? Find out by watching Bloomberg TV – now available in French on Zattoo. Get the latest in business and financial news, 24 hours a day.
Or are you looking for a new car to spend that money on that you don’t have? Before you make a decision, tune in to AutoMoto TV. AutoMoto TV brings you test reports 24/7, interviews with experts and representatives of the automobile industry, and specials from the world of luxury cars and tuning. It’s ok to dream of that hot toy on wheels before going off to buy the choice of your wife reason.
Finally, if you need a dose of world news in French every now and then, the French version of France 24 (replacing the English version) is now available for you.
Zattoo – TV forever, wherever.

Nice :D, great.
A quick question, how come that free non profit channels (like één) that are broadcasted by the Belgian government aren't added to the list of channels? (Don't know about the French part of Belgium, talking about the Flemish part).
Anyway thx for the great work you guys are doing. I'm 1/4th channel ready to switch from regular tv to zattoo.

I hope you don't remove France 24 English. France 24 français is good for the Walloons, but I think most Flemish people prefer the English version, at least I do.

Hallo Allerseits.Suche dringend den Kanal 7Gold Italia.Er befindet sich bei Eutelsat W2 16 Ost und ist frei empfangbar.Währe es möglich diesen Kanal bei Zattoo?
On 10 March 2008 Olivier1zattoo said:
@painy: regarding other Flemish speaking channels, we need to get their authorization we don't have so far. Be sure that we are working on it in order to offer a better line up!
...thanks for the compliments on behalf of ZATTOO's team!

Wäre voll geil, wenn es bis zur EM funktionieren würde!!!
Austria = European champion 2008 ;)
On 12 March 2008 andy der 3. said:
Fragt sich bloß, ob dann auch Sender angeboten werden, die EM-Fußball übertragen. Vielleicht stehen ja auch nur Dauerwerbesender und Tischtennis-TV zur Verfügung...
On 13 March 2008 Admin said:
naja ORF muss unbedingt kommen, der überträgt die Spiele!
On 13 March 2008 matze said:
In Deutschland, wo es schon seit einigen Monaten Zattoo gibt, werden fast nur unbedeutende Sender angeboten. Weder die öffentlich rechtlichen, noch die großen Privatsender scheinen sich auf eine Fremdverbreitung einlassen zu wollen. Daher sind interessante Ereignisse hier nicht zu sehen. Vielleicht habt Ihr in Au mehr Glück?

Uffaaaaaaaa !!! Vabbè Zatooniani fate quello che vi pare, io ho sky!

inderdaad, Morel, Roger en Vermeulen, ik ben nu een half uur bezig en heb nog geen post kunnen bekijken!

ik heb nu VT4 en VijfTV als nederlandstalige zenders en ze werken uitstekend! Geen storing en lekker vloeiend! Goed bezig!
On 21 March 2008 jojo said:
Idd, zou makkelijk zijn om een nederlandse uitleg te hebben en veel meer belgische en nederlands posten. Al een goed begin in ieder geval.

Hallo
Heeft iemand dit al eens uitgetest ?
heb er goede kritiek over gelezen gisteren in 'metro'

@The Flemish people
Ik ben ook een Vlaming, voor de duidelijkheid ;). Maybe it is better that we speak English here, because Zattoo is an American/Swiss company, so they don't understand our Dutch comments. They can't do anything with our critics, because they don't understand them.
But I would be glad if broadcasters such as Eén, Canvas, vtm, 2BE ... would be viewable in Zattoo. However, VT4 and VIJFtv are also good tv-stations.

Hello,
We are living in French but we are flemish and would like to see the belgium channels. The only thing we see on Zattoo are the french channels.
On 24 March 2008 bes said:
waar kan ik VT4 VT5 vinden???
On 24 March 2008 bes said:
I live in germany and only see boring german channels apart of al jazera and cnn intern.
On 24 March 2008 Helen said:
@bes: don't despair. We're working on it and there will be more choice for you soon ...
On 24 March 2008 bes said:
@oliverzattoo, great initiative, but why can we not see all the channels as internet and live stream is not bound to national frontiers.
thx
On 24 March 2008 huuuuuuuuuu said:
@helen: Das sagt Ihr schon lange, hoffentlich klappt es bald. Zumindest kommt aber bisher keiner an Euer gutes Konzept ran, macht mit Volldampf (!) weiter!
On 24 March 2008 Olivier1zattoo said:
@vanessa: being in France, you can see French channels or international ones with the rights to be visible in France. It is not the case of Belgian channels (French or Flemish speaking ones) which are not visible in France for rights reasons. We are working towards adding more channels anyway...
@bes: internet has no national frontiers - RIGHT. TV channels have national frontiers for the content rights related to the programs. If we do not respect the territorial rights, the industry would suffer and us with it. We hope more and more channels to broadcsat multi countries to be able to fit the rights with internet openness...

Hoe zit dat hier janetten, komt hier ook prono op?
En wat is dat met die Waalse Shit hier?
No Walloons hier plies!
On 26 March 2008 Olivier1zattoo said:
@Dirk: hello and thanks for talking to Flemish community. About een, Canvas, VTM...we are working on it actively. Be sure that we do think about Flemish speaking people willing to find their favourite channels on Zattoo. It just takes some time to concretize with channels.
On 29 March 2008 Nopie said:
When i connect to Zattoo in Germany, can i tune in on Belgian Channels like TV4? Or can i only get this when i connect to the internet in Belgium?
Thanks
On 31 March 2008 Helen said:
@Nopie: You'll get a different channel lineup in Germany than in Belgium because for most channels we only receive the rights to retransmit for a single country. So no Belgian channels in Germany for now ...
On 1 April 2008 karel said:
Ik ben nu op reis in zwitserland. Ik kan geen enkele belgische zender bekijken.Ik heb geen idee hoe het komt da ik deze niet kan vinden.
On 1 April 2008 karel said:
I'm on a holiday in switzerland right now. I installen zattoo but I can't watch any dutch channels. Is it posibble to watch belgian channels in switzerland?
On 2 April 2008 Helen said:
@karel: no, because we don't have the rights to retransmit Belgian channels in Switzerland.
On 3 April 2008 Corleone said:
Wat valt er uit te leggen ? Downloaden , installeren en zender kiezen , meer is er ni aan...
Ik gebruik Zattoo nu al een aantal weken en het is een prachtig initiatief voor mensen die te weinig tv kijken om een kabelabonnement te nemen , nu nog wa meer zenders en tis wauw , het beste sinds tvcatchup(rip).

On 10 June 2008 Olivier1 said:
@Lode: we are working on adding new Dutch speaking channels in Belgium. I cannot tell you which and when yet but be sure that we are working on it! We'll let you know once more ready. Thanks for the suggestion!
On 13 June 2008 Jacques said:
Hello to all of you,
Is VT4 gone in Belgium it is no more listed in the available channels, i love to see the European Cup football, thanks.
greetings
Jacques
On 16 June 2008 helen said:
@Jacques: Upon request of VT4 we currently have to prevent access to VT4 during EURO 2008 games. We are trying to find a solution with VT4, and hope to be able to offer you the channel in its entirety again soon.
On 27 July 2008 Tim said:
Thanks for this great service! Being one of the few online TV providers for Linux users as well, you really deserve a big thanks!
Requests from Dutch/Flemish speaking Belgians:
- EEN + Canvas (public,state-owned channels)
- VMMa: with channels such as VTM, 2BE, JIM, ...
- TMF music channel (already broadcasted on other services)
- BBC World, BBC one/two/... (probably impossible due to rights and iplayer)
- CNN, Eurosport, RTL-TVi ... (same as above)
If you have deals with SBS (for VT4 and VijfTV) wouldn't it be possible then to add the other foreign channels as well. I heard Patrick Tillieux (COO of SBS ProSiebenSat1) talking about it in a lecture.
I don't know how it works with all these rights, probably due to commercials and ads being broadcasted abroad, but if it works on common TV, we should get the deals online as well!
Anyways, you're doing a great job! iTV is the future! Zattoo rocks!
On 7 August 2008 olivier said:
@ Tim:
Thanks for you thanks and all the inputs.
Can you clarify about the reported Tilleux's say?
On 9 August 2008 Coren said:
I just discovered Zattoo and I'm absolutely thrilled at how handy it is. It's fast and the image quality is quite good. Two thumbs up!
I'm a Belgian user and I do have some requests for extra channels. As you know, Belgium is partially Dutch-speaking and partially French-speaking. I think the French-speaking part of the Belgian Zattoo users would greatly appreciate the addition of French (as in "from France") channels (which we also get over regular cable).
These channels are:
France 2
France 3
TF1 (I know not all areas in Belgium get this channel)
and M6 (ideally. It's possibly the hardest channel to get but it's also the most interesting)
Would you consider those?
Thanks a lot and keep up the good work!
On 10 August 2008 Gaëtan said:
why FR2 and FR3 is no more available on Zattoo??
On 10 August 2008 Tim said:
@ olivier
Patrick Tillieux talked about SBS ProSiebenSat1 in a lecture. He said iTV, both internet TV and I Television, was the future as more and more people watch television over the internet and people want to decide when and what they will watch (personalized TV). The core business is free television sponsored by ads. That's not going to change. He said the company should and probably would (heavily) invest in internet TV as especially Belgium is far behind concerning internet TV, and now SBS want to become market leader in this sector (I know, it's business talk). Of course the well-known country limits as to ads, commercials, etc still need to be dealt with., but they were working on it as we speak. An example Tillieux gave: future TV shows will be designed in let's say Germany, the cheap audience will be Romanian (and be flown over to other destinations), the editors, ... will be Czech, and the show will be broadcasted over the entire SBS region.
So that implies SBS may be interested in broadcasting foreign channels as well, the ads ,however, are still limited to the country's border. But that shouldn't be a huge problem as people are allowed to watch foreign channels and ads over regular cable too.
This is briefly what I remember from the lecture.

@Gaëtan: They made an unplanned appearance for a day and were taken down again, as soon as we discovered it. Sorry for the confusion this caused!

@ Coren:
D'abord, merci pour les compliments et encouragements.
Ensuite, nous souhaitons pouvoir rajouter toutes ces chaînes en Belgique et plus encore. Pour autant l'obtention des droits de retransmission est un processus long. Aussi, nous vous demandons d'être un peu patient. Le mieux c'est d'en parler autant de vous. Plus vous serez à utiliser Zattoo, plus notre poids sera important vis-à-vis des chaînes de télévision.

Bonjour, je suis étonné de voir que les nouvelles chaines qui sont disponibles sont toutes à part une, dans une autre langue que le français et le néerlandais, je rapelle que se sont les langues national de notre pays ( et une petite minorité en allemand).
J'ai la nette impression que les créateurs de Zatoo ne vérifient pas les dialectes de chaques pays avant de proposer des chaines au combien inutiles.
On 8 September 2008 olivier said:
@Visitor:
Bonjour,
Nous vous proposons des chaînes nationales, des chaînes internationales et quand nous le pouvons des chaînes locales étrangères. C'est ce que nous avons fait lors de la dernière mise à jour.
La mise à disposition d'autres chaînes nationales est un processus plus long que nous observons dans de nombreux pays, notamment pour des raisons de droits de retransmission. Nous n'oublions pas les néerlandophones et les francophones, mais en attendant nous offrons des chaînes supplémentaires à des résidents étrangers sur le territoire de Belgique comme les hispanophones, anglophones, etc...
