Wow, Zattoo is amazing…! Thanks popey for the heads up. Zattoo is a peer-to-peer television streaming program. It’s got a selection of UK Terrestrial channels, BBC One, Two, ITV, Channel4 and Five and some other random channels to choose from. It’s quite handy for watching Neighbours without having to go all the way downstairs…! It uses IP Geo-location stuff to deliver you the channels for your country supporting a bunch of other channels in other countries in the EU. It occasionally blips but this the problem with streaming stuff, I suppose the more users who are watching a channel at anyone the better, since it uses magical clever peer-to-peer technologies to distribute the content. It’s another good demonstration of p2p technologies being used for everyone’s benefit 
It’s got clients for Windows, Mac and Linux which means it’s better than other similar projects like Joost which doesn’t support the same channels either.
(p.s. I’m also demonstrating the NextGEN Gallery plugin for Wordpress in this post.. Hence the web2.0 style full-size image if you click it, nice!)
