While I am sure you can use GeoIP for the restrictions, how do you deal with the fact that not all TV networks own the rights to broadcast on the open Internet valuable programs like Lost or Desperate Housewives!

In the UK, for example, Channel 4 offers live streaming online but with "blackout" times when programs they don't have the rights for are on air.

Surely Zattoo will have to implement something similar... any ideas?

Does anyone know how the technical system compares to Uusee (www.uusee.com) for example? I have downloaded their P2P player and it seems to work really well. They have over 30 million users, so I imagine they must be able to scale well. And they probably do. When I watch CCTV for example, the stream comes over very smoothly and never stutters or break ups, even in full screen mode.

As I’m involved in the technical part of Zattoo, I can say that the territorial restriction is based on GeoIP information. Means: you can watch channels licesed in a certain country as long as your IP address belongs to that country.

How on earth are they going to overcome the rights hurdle? Any mainstream broadcaster acquires a license restricted to the territory in which his signal can be received.

If Zattoo makes content available outside the defined territory surely they face problems.

And if their system scrupulously respects the territoriality restrictions incumbent on the broadcasters in question, then what is the point of the whole thing?

Joost I understand, Babelgum too. And I'm waiting to hear more abut Abbey Core.

But, hey, help me understand Zattoo!
