Watching Catch Up Programs

I wonder if someone could tell me if this is correct.
If I'm on the TV guide and I go back a day, find a program with the catch up symbol on. If I select it and press OK, should the program play? Or should it send me to "Go to catch up TV on Demand" and search for the program through that? As that is what I have to do every time.

Re: Watching Catch Up Programs

They should link straight to the programme, but they don't always. That said, it's working well for me today. I've tried a few things that were shown earlier and most get the "Watch from..." message. Which programmes aren't working for you?

It's usually a lot quicker than that. Corrie (finished 34 minutes ago) is linked for me now. But other times things never get linked.

If it says "Watch from" it is working, and will take you straight to the programme. If it says "Go to", it takes you to the top level VOD menu and you have to find it yourself.

Re: Watching Catch Up Programs

I find too whilst they link on the SD version of a channel, they don't always link on the HD version.
