Zattoo’s current help distinguishes Replay from personal recordings and makes both dependent on country, plan and programme restrictions. Recordings remain online playback through the account; a saved recording is not an offline video download.
Replay looks back at a broadcast window
Replay describes access to eligible programmes broadcast during the previous seven days. It is not a personal record of everything the account watched. Availability and fast-forwarding depend on the country, plan and channel/programme.
The current help gives different arrangements for Switzerland, Austria and Germany. Even the same Premium label does not carry an identical Replay rule across those markets. Use the account’s country of use and current help branch rather than copying a feature from a neighbouring country.
A recording has its own storage and eligibility
Recordings are added to the account’s personal list and become available when recording completes. The service measures capacity by programme recordings rather than simply treating a long match as several short episodes. The actual quota and retention still depend on the subscription and country. For example, a two-hour film and a half-hour episode can each occupy one programme recording; their different durations do not by themselves describe two different quota units.
Some programmes or add-on channels do not offer recording, and fast-forwarding can be restricted. A channel appearing in the guide is therefore insufficient to establish a working record button for every item. Check the exact programme action before relying on a future recording.
Online access and offline use are separate
Zattoo explicitly says recordings cannot be downloaded and are playable online. Logging in on another supported device can expose account recordings, but it does not place a permanent file on that device or remove retention limits.
For a practical enquiry, record country, plan, channel, programme and whether the goal is Replay, future recording or an existing saved item. Add its displayed availability/deletion information when relevant. This profile supplies no external price table or universal broadcaster catalogue, and establishes no Hot IPTV carriage, Zattoo membership or every-programme recording right.
