IPTV DVR and Catch-Up: Record and Rewatch TV
Quick answer: IPTV Dvr: Two IPTV features let you watch TV later: catch-up (the provider keeps recent programmes on demand, MapleHD offers 7 days on supported channels) and DVR (your app records a live show). TiviMate Premium offers recording; catch-up works through the guide in supported players.

Catch-up TV
With catch-up, you open the programme guide, scroll back to a show that already aired and press play. It depends on the channel supporting catch-up and on your player supporting the feature. MapleHD supports 7-day catch-up on supported channels.
IPTV DVR (recording)
- TiviMate Premium can record live programmes to local or USB storage.
- Some other players offer recording options; check each app.
- Recording needs free storage and a device that stays on during the recording.
