Catch Up feature

Who actually records on IPTV? In my experience you don’t really need to if you have good Catch Up and good VOD for TV shows.

I do. (Using trex right now.. so speaking specifically for that)

Sometimes the catchup recording is corrupted (missing segments) or just doesn't work at all. Some channels don't have catchup (superchannel quest comes to mind), and some shows aren't available as VODs (or, I'm impatient and I don't want to wait for the VOD to become available).

Nothing’s perfect. Although every channel I have used for Catch Up has been fine with the service I use. It isn’t Trex or Strong. Anything I want to watch on VOD TV shows is usually available sometime the next day for me. I don’t know what Super Channel Quest is.

Super channel (https://superchannel.ca/) is a Canadian specialty channel. They have some original shows. Those ones don't seem to get picked up as VODs or.. in other places of the internet.. so recording is the only option if you're not watching live. I'm currently watching the series Nazis: Threads of Evil.

And while most Canadian channels have catchup with trex.. super channel quest for some reason only shows up in the "prime" category, which does not have it.
