When do programs go on catch up?

I thought they go on demand as soon as the show starts airing on the live thing.

This is what usually happens but today with the walking dead it didn't.

I guess it will go up after the episode has finished being aired but I'm quite annoyed I'm gonna have to wait.

Is this normally what happens? I prefer watching on demand as there are no adverts.

@Anonymous User  no normally they go on after broadcast.  Can vary from straight after to a few hours after.   I would guess it will appear shortly after 10pm since it says will be available today.

Hi @Anonymous User,

 

It might also be worth pointing out that 'catch-up' episodes (usually) expire 30 days after their original 'live' broadcast date, due to pre-arranged agreements with their copyright holders (much like they do with BBC iPlayer).

 

Meaning once they've exceeded their 30 day limit, they've have gone!

Hi, it's 22:20 and still no sign of it, is there any reason why would it take 24 hours to show up?

The catch-up episode of TWD doesn't appear until around 11pm, and if for some reason they haven't uploaded it in time, the episode is also repeated on the live Fox channel at 11pm as well.

This is a terrible performance from NowTV!!

Surely it should be lined up ready to go as soon as the broadcast has finished!?

 

I'm pretty sure last week episode 1 was available before the actual broadcast.... The icon for ep 1 was there when you clicked on season 7 anyway so I presume it was available to watch.

 

How can you expect people to go to work the next day without having seen it ! Smiley Tongue

It's been the same in previous years for TWD as well where the catch-up appears around 11pm, I suspect it is an arrangement they have with Fox to fit in with their schedule.

 

Last week was slightly different as the first episode had already been broadcast in the early hours in a simulcast with the American showing (2.30am) , the catch-up episode was added an hour after the episode finished (4.30am) and so was available throughout the day.
