Zattoo: Record series - is that possible?
At Zattoo you can not only watch films and series, but also record them - but only under certain conditions. We will show you what these are and how you can record programs at Zattoo.
Record series with Zattoo - also in Germany
For a long time, the German users of Zattoo were not able to record films for licensing reasons. However, that has changed:
- The Swiss company Zattoo has long wanted to offer the recording service in Germany. So far, however, it has only been possible for users in Switzerland to record their favorite series.
- If you want to use the Zattoo recording service, you have to meet one of the requirements. If you have used the streaming service free of charge so far, it will unfortunately not be possible to record your favorite films.
- You can only use the streaming service feature if you have a premium subscription with Zattoo.
- Zattoo's premium offer costs around 10 euros per month and includes 90 channels. However, you cannot currently record all channels. ProSiebenSat.1 and the media group RTL and Eurosport are not included. If you want to test the premium offer first, you can do it free of charge for one month.
Record films at Zattoo - how it works
If you have opted for the premium subscription to the streaming service, you can save up to 30 films on your recording list at the same time. As long as you are a premium customer, the films remain stored on your account unless you delete them.
- To record a film, first log in to your account. Then open the program preview. You have the option of recording individual films or entire series.
- In front of the films you can record, you will see an orange button with a white cross in the middle. After you click on it, the movie will be recorded.
- If you want to save an entire series, select the orange button, which is also half surrounded by an orange line. Then each episode of the series is automatically recorded.
- However, you cannot record some programs, you can recognize this from the missing icon in front of the program.
- Tip: If you have the Zattoo TV app for Windows or iOS, you will find the record button in the lower right corner.
Alternatively, the software save.tv and onlinetvrecorder are available for recording television programs.
