Catch-up TV and live rewind in MuskTV

What you can do

• Watch past programmes: open the guide, go back in time on a channel with the catch-up icon, and press OK on any programme.
• Restart the current programme: hold OK on a channel and choose Watch from start.
• Pause and rewind live TV: pause, seek back, fast-forward, and return to live whenever you want.
• From search: past programmes in search results that have an archive play from their start.

What your provider must support

Catch-up is recorded by your provider, not by the TV. A channel has it when the provider keeps an archive and marks it in the playlist, with attributes such as catchup, catchup-days, catchup-source or timeshift. MuskTV reads these automatically and shows a catch-up icon on those channels in the channel list.

How far back you can go is set by the provider (often 1 to 7 days), and can differ per channel.

Watch a programme you missed

1. Open the TV guide (the MuskTV home screen).
2. Pick a channel with the catch-up icon.
3. In the guide, hold Left (or press Rewind) on the current programme to walk back into past programmes, as far as the archive goes (up to 7 days). While watching full screen you can also press Left, then Right twice, to pick an earlier day.
4. Select a programme that has already aired and press OK. It plays from its start; use the seek buttons to skip.
5. Press Back to return to the live channel.

When catch-up doesn't work

• No catch-up icon on any channel: your playlist doesn't mark an archive. Ask your provider whether they offer catch-up, and for a playlist link that includes it (often an m3u_plus link).
• The icon is there but a programme won't play: it may be older than the provider keeps. Try something from earlier today.
• Plays the wrong programme: check the TV's time zone; catch-up uses programme times from the guide.
