Arte have a twitter channel for their programs

Byrichard

A few days ago I noticed that twitter was tweeting their programs as they were on in German and this looked like a good idea. I commented it was a shame that they didn’t have the same in French. Within a few days it’s there. This morning I saw Arte’s tweet for one program and so I’m watching a guy play some Chopin on the Piano.

I spend quite a bit of time watching the twitter stream so if someone gives me their program details, as an opt in then there’s a good chance that I will tune into the program on the spare of the moment.

If I had intended to watch the program at 2038 in three days time I would have forgottten about it. As things are that’s what’s playing on the right side of my screen now.

Zattoo finally ready for England

Byrichard

Zattoo is a little bit of code that allows you to watch streaming television from the comfort of your laptop rather than using a television or other device.  It’s better than Joost because they don’t discriminate against PowerPC users.

It means I can watch BBC 1, 2 3 4, ITV, C4 CBBC, BBC news 24 (that’s the crappy England only version).

I’m happy to see this change.

I had tested it months ago in Switzerland and found the product interesting.
