IPTV Catch-up: How to Watch Past Shows (7-Day Replay)

6 min readBy Emerald IPTV Ireland

Never Miss a Show Again


"Catch-up" allows you to scroll BACKWARDS in your TV guide and watch shows that have already aired.


Which Channels Have Catch-up?

Look for the Clock Icon or Replay Icon next to the channel name in your app.

  • UK/Irish Documentaries
  • Soaps (Coronation Street, EastEnders)
  • Match of the Day
  • News Bulletins

  • How to Use Catch-up (TiviMate/Smarters)

  • Open your TV Guide (EPG).
  • Navigate Left (past the current time).
  • Select a show from yesterday (or up to 7 days ago).
  • Press OK. The stream starts instantly.

  • Why Doesn't Every Channel Have It?

    Catch-up requires huge server storage. We prioritize popular UK/Irish channels for Catch-up.

  • No Storage Used: Streams from our server.
  • Instant: No need to schedule anything.
