Catch-Up TV
A feature letting you rewind a live channel's recent broadcast window, bridging live streaming and true on-demand viewing.
Technically, catch-up works by retaining recently-aired live segments on the server for a limited time, turning a portion of the live stream into a temporary, time-limited on-demand experience. Once that retention window passes, the content is no longer available, unlike true VOD content kept indefinitely.
