Quick Answer: TiviMate supports catch-up, but replay availability depends on the playlist and provider data. TiviMate is a media player and does not supply TV content itself.
What Is Catch-Up in TiviMate?#
Catch-up lets you access supported past broadcasts instead of watching only the live stream. TiviMate lists Catch-up as a supported feature.
Why Catch-Up Depends on Your Playlist#
TiviMate does not create the underlying television streams. The official listing states that users must add their own playlists and that the app itself does not provide content. Therefore, a channel can appear in your guide without having replay available.
How to Check Catch-Up#
- Open a channel that you know should have replay.
- Open its guide or program history.
- Look for past programs that are available to play.
- If nothing is available, compare another channel from the same playlist.
Catch-Up Missing on Some Channels#
If catch-up works for some channels but not others, the difference is usually in the playlist's supplied replay data rather than the existence of the TiviMate player feature. Check your provider's documentation and confirm that the channel is advertised as supporting catch-up.
Catch-Up Not Working at All#
- Refresh the playlist.
- Update EPG data.
- Restart TiviMate.
- Test a second channel known to support replay.
- Ask the playlist provider whether catch-up is currently available.
Recent TiviMate release notes on Google Play have also mentioned fixes for missing catch-up on some M3U playlists, showing that playlist-specific behavior can matter.
