What Are EPG and Catch-Up TV in IPTV? (Explained Simply)
Two features turn a channel list into a real TV experience: EPG and catch-up. Here's what they do.
EPG — the TV guide
EPG (Electronic Program Guide) is the on-screen schedule that shows what's on now and next on every channel, just like a traditional TV guide. It makes browsing thousands of channels easy.
Catch-up TV — the replay
Catch-up (or replay) lets you go back and watch programmes that already aired — often up to 7 days. Missed the match or your show? Just scroll back and play it.
How to use them
A good IPTV player loads the EPG automatically. To use catch-up, open the guide, select a past programme on a supported channel, and press play.
Both EPG and catch-up are included with every 4KTVZ plan.
Frequently asked questions
Is catch-up available on all channels?
On most major channels. Availability and the replay window (often up to 7 days) vary by channel.
Do I need to set up the EPG?
No — a supported player loads it automatically once your subscription is added.
