04
International packs.
International channels are one of the main reasons people choose IPTV over a US cable or vMVPD subscription. Cable charges $15-30 extra per language pack. IPTV services typically include them.
Coverage by region: UK & Ireland, Western Europe (French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch), Eastern Europe, Arabic (Gulf and Levant), South Asia (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka), Southeast Asia, Turkish, Persian/Farsi, and more.
For more on watching international channels specifically, see the international TV guide.
05
VOD and catch-up.
Most IPTV plans include a VOD (video on demand) library alongside live channels. This typically covers recent movies and TV series. It is separate from live TV but accessible from the same app.
Catch-up lets you rewind supported live channels and watch content that aired in the past 24-72 hours. It requires the provider to have time-shift recording rights for that specific channel. Availability varies by channel and plan.
In TiviMate, catch-up channels show an archive icon. In Smarters, look for the clock icon on supported channels. If a channel does not show catch-up, the provider does not have the rights for it, not a player setting to change.
