Estimated reading: 2 minutes 127 views

The Catch-Up feature on MAG devices is a powerful tool that allows users to access previously aired TV programs, giving them the flexibility to watch content after the live broadcast has ended. This function relies on IPTV providers recording live streams and storing them temporarily on their servers.

In this guide by iptvhelpcenter.net, we’ll walk you through how to use the Catch-Up (or Time-Shift) function on a MAG box step by step.


📺 What is Catch-Up in IPTV?

Catch-Up TV lets you:

  • Watch past programs from specific channels

  • Access content that aired hours or even days ago

  • Skip traditional scheduling and watch shows at your convenience

Some IPTV providers also offer time-shifted broadcasts, where a program is available an hour (or more) after the original broadcast time. Certain MAG-compatible IPTV services even let you start watching a program from the beginning while it’s still airing.
