Internet requirements

In this article you will find the recommended Internet download speeds per stream listed to be able to stream via Zattoo.

The recommended Internet download speeds:

0.5 Mbit/s - minimum broadband speed required
3 Mbit/s - recommended minimum broadband speed per SD stream
5 Mbit/s - recommended minimum broadband speed per HD stream
8 Mbit/s - recommended minimum broadband speed per Full HD stream
 

The recommended Internet contracts: 

Please note that depending on the subscription model, a different number of parallel streams is possible and the Zattoo stream will not be the only one in the household using the Internet. Since the Zattoo streams will usually not have the complete bandwidth available, but will share it with other devices/services/programs, we recommend the following standard Internet contracts for a flawless SD / HD / Full HD transmission:

• Zattoo Free: 16 to 30Mbit/s (for 1 Zattoo SD stream and other activities)
• Zattoo Smart HD: 30 to 50Mbit/s (for 1 Zattoo HD stream and other activities)
• Zattoo Premium: 30 to 50Mbit/s (for 2 concurrent Zattoo HD streams and other activities)
• Zattoo Ultimate: 50 to 100Mbit/s (for 4 concurrent Zattoo Full HD streams and other activities)
   

Using Zattoo on mobile devices with mobile data:

With constant usage, SD (regular quality) channels can consume up to 1.3 GB per hour and HD channels up to 2.2 GB per hour. These are only average figures.

Specifically for mobile use, in our Android and iOS apps, you have the option of setting the bit rate from high to low. This can be configured in the app settings. 

The reduced bitrate, the data consumption is limited to 900 Kbit/s, the data consumption per hour is about 400 MB.
