I'd like to hear more about CatchUp TV and if Viva could use it for DVR purposes. It sounds a lot like this, but this one seems to be just for UK channels: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TVCatchup

DVR service on cable requires a physical DVR device to record the events/shows/sports/movies. For instance, DishTV's DVR recordings are available for upto a month.

DVR service on a stream doesn't require a physical DVR device, It is also called Catchup. This Catchup service generally provides a week's recordings on the cloud for us to go watch the previous events/shows that we missed on live.

I see this Catchup one way or other on every streaming app.

IMO, VivaLiveTV needs to provide this Catchup (DVR) service to compete with other LiveTV streaming companies SlingTV, DirecTVNow, and others.

JF tried to provide this Catchup (DVR) service in June and failed.
