Alongside the live channels, CatchOn TV includes an on-demand library. It holds films, complete series and documentaries that you start when you like, rather than when a schedule says. Watching on demand suits evenings when you want something specific, and the live groups suit the rest.
What the library holds
- Films: feature films across several genres, from classics to recent releases where the catalogue carries them.
- Series: complete box sets, so you can begin at episode one and keep going.
- Documentaries: factual films on nature, history, science and current affairs.
The catalogue changes as titles are added and removed, so a film you saw last month may have gone and a new one may have arrived.
Finding something to watch
Use the search in the app to look for a title, or browse by genre. The on-demand groups list titles alphabetically within each genre, which is quicker than scrolling a long grid.
Picture quality
Library titles are offered in HD, and some in 4K where the catalogue carries that version. Your internet connection decides how smoothly a film plays, so the stable streaming guide is useful if a film stutters.
Questions about on-demand viewing
Can I download films to watch offline?
The app streams titles rather than downloading them, so you need a connection while you watch.
Can I resume a film where I stopped?
Yes, where the app keeps the position for titles you have started. If the position is not saved, search for the title and begin again.
Is the on-demand library included in every plan?
Yes. The library comes with every plan, at no extra charge, for as long as the plan runs.
