IPTV Catch-Up Explained: Rewatch Missed Shows (2026)
Missed the match or your soap? Catch-up lets you scroll back in the TV guide and replay programmes that have already aired. Here is how IPTV catch-up works.
Using catch-up
- Open the EPG and scroll back to an earlier programme.
- Select a show that has already aired to replay it.
- Catch-up windows vary by channel (often several days).
- Supported in players like TiViMate, OTT Navigator and IPTV Smarters.
How far back can you go?
Catch-up availability depends on the channel and your subscription, but several days is common — enough to replay the weekend's football or last night's drama.
Finding it
In the guide, past programmes on supported channels are selectable. If catch-up is missing, check your player supports it and your plan provides the data.
