Watch On-Demand & Catch-Up TV Content
Did you miss the live broadcast of your favorite show?
Not to worry! We offer a number of ways to make sure you can stay caught up on your favorite programming. Check out how Video On-Demand and Catch-Up TV work below.
Video On-Demand
We offer On-Demand content on many of our channels. The content and length of time available varies by channel. To locate this content, launch your Guide.
Start by scrolling through your subscription’s channels to see which offer On-Demand content. If you're using a grid view, you can access the channels view by selecting a channel icon from your guide.
Once you've landed on the channel you're interested in, check out the ribbons below the Schedule. On Demand content may appear in ribbons labeled as On Demand, Available Now, or with genre names like Drama or Comedy.
Scroll through the available shows to find one of interest to you. Click on the title - or poster - to open additional information on the program.
NOTE: If the channel you've selected doesn't have a Schedule ribbon, it means you're watching an On Demand only channel. You can start watching any of this content at any time you'd like!
Catch-Up TV
Sling’s free Catch-Up TV feature lets you watch — or rewatch — just about anything that aired within the past 3 to 8 days, depending on the channel and type of content.* 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."
