If you miss a program, catch-up may let you watch it from the TV guide. Not all channels and apps offer it.

Start

Open the TV guide

Open your app’s TV guide, and find a channel you watch.

Go backward in time

Press the left arrow, to move earlier in the day. Past programs appear on the left.

Look for the small symbol

Channels with catch-up may show a small clock or an arrow beside them. If you see nothing, that channel probably does not offer it.

Press Select on a past program

If catch-up is available, the program starts. If not, you may see a message, or nothing may happen.

Use the controls

Use your remote’s pause and rewind buttons to move through it.

Final step

If your app does not offer it

Some apps offer catch-up only in a paid version. TiviMate includes it with Premium, for example. It depends on the channel as well.
