Catch up

[7leaves]

hello my fellow Satfixers.... Wishing you all the best for the New Year! question... wasn't this new update supposed to come with Catch up? or did it? and if it did, how does it work? or is it ok2/ok3 that is supposed to have Catch up for the buzz Catch up capabilities to work? if someone can kindly shed some light... thanks all!

catch up option depends if the service being used supports it or not, the buzz box has always had the catch up option

Like others have mentioned. Catchup is implemented on the server side. OK, the client (the buzz box in this case) also has to support it, and the buzz supported it even pre-update. Even STB Emu supports it. Not all channels have catchup. In STB Emu, the channels that have Catchup available, have a small "clock" icon on the right of the channel name. On the Buzz, If I remember correctly, it looks like a little rewind icon with a circle around it. There was a glitch on the catchup implementation on the buzz, that would not allow you to FFWD or RWD through the show once it was playing, but that was now fixed in this update.

On OK3, there are a couple of channels.. dishuser mentioned 125 above.
The major US Network [ 16, 17 & 18 (N8C, C8S, and ABC) ] also have Catchup. (not going to list them all)

From the EPG view on a channel that has catchup, just scroll left and find a show that was playing previously, and select it, to watch it.

NOTE: you can only watch episodes that have finished playing. Don't quote me, but I don't think you can just RWD on the currently playing show (haven't tried it in a while - so this may have changed). But even that, would certainly be server dependent.

Just to correct what I said about catchup...

I mentioned the following:

Today I did some testing, and I was wrong, and you CAN rewind on an currently playing episode at least on OK3 (on a buzz you need to ensure you are using the default or "old" default player). I tried it today, and when you RWD, it goes to the beginning of the current playing episode and starts playing from beginning. You can then FFWD to wherever you want (up to current time obviously), and once you are done, you can go back to live TV. The getting around can be a little tricky, but it works..

It's nice to know, since sometimes you just want to go back and check something out during a commercial break.

The FFWD and RWD should enabled in configuration...... I think it's on by default which allows users to use the left/right arrow buttons to use the feature.
