Playroom Catch-Up TV gives hotel guests more control over the TV experience by letting them watch recently broadcast programs after they have aired. Guests can return to missed shows, sports, news and entertainment programs directly from the TV interface, without depending on a fixed broadcast schedule.
For hotels, Catch-Up TV adds a premium entertainment feature to the IPTV system and helps improve guest satisfaction without requiring a separate service platform.
What Is Catch-Up TV?
Catch-Up TV automatically records selected television broadcasts and makes them available for later viewing. Guests can browse available programs through the Electronic Program Guide (EPG), choose a previous time slot, and watch the content they missed.
Unlike Video on Demand, which offers a predefined library of movies or series, Catch-Up TV is based on the live broadcast stream. It records TV channel programming such as series, news, sports, talk shows and entertainment programs, depending on system configuration and storage capacity. This gives guests the flexibility to watch recent TV content whenever it is convenient for them.
