What is catch-up TV?

Catch-up TV lets a viewer play a previously broadcast programme within a period set by the service. It can have a different catalogue and availability window from live television or the service's broader on-demand library.

Example

An app shows a programme from yesterday in its TV guide. Check whether the replay icon or a broadcaster link is present, then test that specific programme. A schedule entry tells you it aired. Replay availability has to be checked on the service.
