Using Catch-Up TV on Sling TV International
Sling’s free Catch-Up TV feature lets you watch — or re-watch — just about anything that aired within the past 8 days,* depending on the channel and type of content. This feature is free, ensuring that you’ll never again have to choose between your favorite show and a night out. Catch-Up TV also allows you to fast forward and rewind previously aired content without the need to manually record content using your DVR*.
There are 3 easy steps to access Catch-Up TV content:
- Start by navigating to the channel guide
- Select the logo of your desired channel from the left side of the guide grid
- Scrolling Left on the "Channel Schedule" ribbon will display programs that aired in the past, while scrolling Right will display future programming. To start 'Catching-Up,' simply select the episode you are interested in viewing, then select Watch.
*NOTE: Some commercials cannot be skipped using the fast forward feature. Up to 3 days of previously aired content is accessible for most domestic programming, and up to 8 days for most International content. "Catch-Up TV" replaces the previous feature names "3 (or) 8-day Replay," "Lookback," and "3 (or) 8-day Lookback."
