Why limit it to seven - thirty days to catch though? Just record it from the linear TV broadcast and keep it as long as you want. You get no buffering issues with linear TV and you can even skip the adverts.

There is a way you can have material for up to a year (and beyond) for a monthly fee, buy the shows you want on DVD. Old series of many, many shows are pretty much dirt cheap now and for the money you spend on Now TV, you could buy (at least) a season of each respective show a month.

There is little need to rely on catch up TV or even hope a VOD provider will offer there programs for a massive amount of time.
