From the tv licensing website:-

"If you are watching programmes as they are being shown on TV from other
services, for example Channel 4 or ITV, then you will need to be covered
by a valid TV Licence. If you are watching these services at home you
will be covered by your existing TV Licence."

So no, the method by which you receive (broadcast vs stream) is
irrelevant. It's mainly down to whether you can receive live TV. Zattoo
is only a second or so behind live TV, so I would suspect that can be
argued that it's "live".

Cheers,
Al.
