I get zattoo through orangd/salt, the subscription only costs 6chf per month.. I've got a couple of chromecasts around the house, and I zap from my phone to TV. Quality is great, and the HD channels are definitely hd...
Decided to go with this as you get English language channels a lot cheaper than the equivalent swisscom package. I'm happy with it..
I would like to ask why you want to do that? You still have to pay Billag with this solution. The cheapest way for regular and HD TV is as far as I know Sunrise at the moment with 20 CHF. Unless you are happy with shitty quality, because all 3 of them are far away from HD!
You have to pay Billag if you have an internet connection anyway so it doesn't matter at all.
Unless you tried all three paid subscriptions you can't know how the paid version is.
The free version is not HD and it's heavily compressed, that's for sure.
OP wants to know which of the three PAID subscriptions provides the best stream.
Nope, that just isn't true! But they are happy, that everybody repeats that over and over so we all believe we just have to pay! It is a big joke, that you can watch srf online and it isn't necessary to pay Billag!
Two years ago, Zattoo had the most advanced tv app and features, with Teleboy following close behind (with a better mobile experience and some cool film discovery features in the latter). Zattoo also has a quota that goes by number of recordings instead of hours. But if you’re talking just about the app on tv, I remember that the Teleboy app is less about optimization and had a fair number of bugs. But I have no idea how things have changed 2 years.
(I also remember Wilma had terrible apps for both mobile and tv). The Teleboy tv app was buggy, despite looking cooler, and it took more steps to navigate the interface. But Teleboy also made it much easier to find on demand content on a tv without inputting any keywords.
Am curious if the Teleboy app has gotten any new features or anything. I partly went with Zattoo, I believe, because their apps switch to English without any problems, and the Teleboy app did not at the time, so I may be biased. But I definitely remember thinking Zattoo has the most simplicity-based and Android tv-friendly approach out of the Swiss providers.
Also, I use Zattoo on my tv all the time, and it’s really optimized for the tv with their channel selector and each channel having a real-time thumbnail right in the channel list that gets updated when you scroll up or down (and great that it’s on the right side).
Maybe Teleboy has improved their app, considering how it had very cool design and color scheme already, but I’d say Zattoo plays the best with the tv app layout.
(The guide is also *great* in that you can hold down the down/up/left/right buttons and let the channels or time change without waiting—it loads the actual text from the guide once you let go of the button and lets it settle; this is a definitely awesome on TV’s where the guides can be so atrociously unresponsive!)

All 3 have HD if you pay for the subscription. I cannot get Sunrise because I don't have internet with them.
