Start with the important distinction
Live playback follows a schedule. On-demand playback starts a specific item. Their guide, replay, language and failure checks differ, even when one player presents both.















Put the information to use
An electronic programme guide describes scheduled content. It does not create catch-up rights or guarantee replay availability. A guide may be missing while live playback works. If the whole schedule shifts by a fixed amount, inspect time-zone handling before changing channels. Seasonal clock changes and cross-border feeds deserve particular attention.
Live playback follows a schedule. On-demand playback starts a specific item. Their guide, replay, language and failure checks differ, even when one player presents both. Keep the device, player, account and source separate in your notes so a later change can be identified accurately.
A short practical checklist
- Record the exact setup
Include the device or panel, app, account method and the specific question this page helps answer.
- Use the current record
Check the actual file, feed, price or panel action instead of a general promotional label.
- Compare one condition
Keep other settings unchanged and write down the result. Ask the appropriate support route about any unresolved condition.
