Also called: Catch up, TV archive, Timeshift.
On channels that support it, the IPTV service keeps an archive of recent broadcasts. In the player app, catch-up programmes are marked in the EPG — often with a clock or rewind icon — and selecting one plays it from the start.
Catch-up is different from recording: nothing is stored on your device, so it needs no storage space, but a programme is only available for as long as the service keeps it in the archive.
How far back you can go depends on the channel, and not every channel has an archive. Catch-up works best with an Xtream Codes login, because the app can match the archive to the guide automatically.
How does Catch-up TV apply to FORTTV4K?
FORTTV4K offers catch-up on supported channels; look for the catch-up icon in your app’s TV guide.
Common questions about Catch-up TV
How far back does catch-up go?
It depends on the channel. Catch-up windows commonly run from one day to a week, and channels that offer it are usually marked with an icon in the player’s TV guide.
Does every player app support catch-up?
No. You need a channel that offers catch-up and a player app that supports it; look for “catch-up” or “timeshift” in the app’s feature list before you choose one.
