Saving a catchup show in BuzzTV5

[Aaron Merilles]

I want to save a show that i missed yesterday. But I don't know where is the option to save a show inside BuzzTV5 after it's been aired, or to play the show via media player. And i refuse to pay for a TiviMate license to do that because I can't get the server to work properly. I tried to record the catchup show, but it just records to the live TV and NOT the catchup.

When in channel list. and you go on a channel that has catch-up, you can press "right" on the DPAD to get the full EPG.  Then you can scroll up and find the program you want.  When you are on a show that aired previously, you should have a new option in the color button section, and I think Blue is "download".  You don't "record" it, you "download" it. 

 

PS: Keep in mind that some feed are 30 seconds to 2 minutes delayed from actual airtime.  So when downloading (unlike recording) you don't have the option of extra minutes to be able to catch a few extra minutes before and after the recording.  So depending HOW much the stream has lagged, you may miss a few seconds from the beginning or the end.  Typically it is just commercials or credits, but something to keep in mind.

That didn't work and i don't see an option to "download" with the color options. Can you try on your own end to see if i works?

Download option only works/appears for Catch-up if the server supports it

Otherwise just click the catch-up program you want to watch to play it
Keep in mind most servers only offer 1-3 days worth of playback.

I tried it just before I posted earlier.  Just checked again and below is a picture.

 

However like aab mentioned above, it seems to the server needs to support/allow you to "download".   If you don't see the download option, I guess the server you are using does not permit downloading catchup.
