Nartiel8k catch-up lets you start a program that has already gone out on a live channel, from its first minute, without recording anything yourself. It comes with every plan beside the 25,000+ live channels and the 120,000+ movies and series, but it works channel by channel: only archived channels replay, each for its own length of time. Picture a Friday in a movie household: the feature runs two hours, and meanwhile the game kicks off and finishes. Catch-up holds the live side until the credits roll.
What Nartiel8k replay does, in plain terms
It plays a past broadcast from a store kept on the server, not on your device. For each archived channel the server holds what went out over a recent stretch; your player requests a program by channel and start time, and the server streams that slice from its opening frame, the way a projectionist pulls a reel from the booth shelf.
- You get the broadcast as it aired. The replay is the channel’s own feed for that slot, starting where the listing says the program began.
- The window keeps moving. Programs enter the archive as they air and the oldest drop out, so a replay available tonight may be gone by the weekend.
- The remote works as usual. Most players with catch-up let you pause and skip within an archived program.
- Coverage is per channel. Which channels are archived, and for how long, is set channel by channel and can change. There is no set number of days and no promise of replay everywhere.
Which channels you can replay, and how to tell
Your own screen answers fastest. Players that understand catch-up mark archived channels, usually with a small clock or rewind-style icon by the name or in the guide; unmarked channels list earlier programs that will not play.
Two ways to check before you rely on it. During the 24-hour Nartiel8k free trial, open the channels you would really want to rewind, such as your team’s sports channel or the late news, and look for the marker. Or send a channel name in the WhatsApp chat and support will say whether it is archived right now.
Where catch-up appears in IPTV Smarters Pro and TiviMate
Catch-up depends on the player as much as on the channel, and it arrives most reliably through the Xtream Codes login. That login tells the player which channels hold an archive and how deep it reaches; a plain M3U playlist often leaves those details out, so the replay option never shows. Use the table if your player version offers catch-up; menus move between releases.
| Player | Where to look | Starting a past program |
|---|---|---|
| IPTV Smarters Pro | A Catch Up tile on the home screen in some versions; otherwise the guide view inside Live TV | Choose the channel, then the day, then the program from its list of earlier broadcasts |
| TiviMate | The TV guide, where archived channels show a small icon | Scroll left of the present moment, highlight a finished program and choose to play it |
| Other players | It varies; many show past listings without playing them | If nothing plays, load the same login into one of the two players above |
The walkthrough to set up Nartiel8k in TiviMate adds the account by the Xtream Codes route, which is the one catch-up needs. The IPTV Smarters Pro sign-in steps do the same and show where the Live TV, Movies and Series sections sit.
Replay, the library or a recording: which suits tonight
Catch-up is for live broadcasts you missed by hours. The on-demand library is for films and series you can start at any time, with no window at all. A recording keeps a program on your own device for as long as you want it.
| At a glance | Catch-up | Movies and Series | Recording |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it holds | Recent broadcasts on archived channels | 120,000+ titles, by genre, language and season | Only the programs you chose to save |
| How long it stays | Each channel’s moving window | No broadcast window | Until you delete the file |
| What it asks of you | A player with catch-up and the Xtream login | A player with Movies and Series sections | TiviMate Premium or another player that records, plus free storage |
| Typical use | The game, the late bulletin | Tonight’s feature | A program to keep |
If a film you missed on a movie channel also sits in the library, take the library copy: no window, and sometimes a 4K version. Look through the Nartiel8k movie and series shelves before digging in the archive. A recording, for its part, uses one of your plan’s connections while it runs.
Three evenings where catch-up earns its keep
The match during the feature. The kickoff lands at the film’s halfway mark and nobody pauses the movie. Once the credits roll, open the sports channel in the guide, step back to the first minute and watch the game whole. The page on Nartiel8k sports channels shows where the leagues sit in the line-up.
The late news after the second episode. One more episode turns into two, and the bulletin is half over before anyone switches to live. On a news channel with an archive, go back to the top of the hour and start from the first headline.
The children’s program that aired over dinner. If that channel is archived, it plays after dinner exactly as broadcast; if not, the kids’ categories in the library are the better place to look.
When there is nothing to replay
Work down this list in order; the first three explain most empty replays.
- The channel has no archive. Look for the catch-up marker. Without it, earlier listings are there to read, not to play.
- The program has left the window. Try something from earlier today on the same channel to prove replay works at all.
- The account was added as an M3U link. Add it again as an Xtream Codes login, with the details from the WhatsApp chat.
- The guide is empty or on the wrong time. You pick a replay from the guide, so a blank guide leaves nothing to choose, and a wrong time zone starts the replay early or late. Our page on the Nartiel8k TV guide and EPG covers loading, refreshing and correcting it.
- The player has no catch-up. Load the same login into TiviMate or IPTV Smarters Pro. If the program replays there, the first player was the limit.
Still nothing on a marked channel? Go through what to do when Nartiel8k is not working, then send the channel, the program and a photo of the screen in WhatsApp.

Nartiel8k catch-up: what people ask
Does Nartiel8k have catch-up TV?
Yes, catch-up comes with every plan, but only on the channels whose broadcasts the server archives. On those, a player with catch-up support lets you choose a program that has already aired and start it from its opening minute. Other channels still list what they showed earlier; those slots just do not play.
How far back does Nartiel8k catch-up go?
That depends on the channel. Each archived channel keeps its own window, and the window keeps moving: fresh programs join at one end while the oldest leave at the other. No single number of days applies across the line-up, so check the channel you care about in your player or ask in the WhatsApp chat.
Can I replay a match on Nartiel8k after the final whistle?
Usually, provided the channel that aired it is archived and the game is still inside that channel’s window. Find the channel in the program guide, step back to the kickoff and play it. Keep your phone face down until then: the replay can only hide the result if nothing else gives it away.
Does Nartiel8k replay work in IPTV Smarters Pro?
It can, provided you signed in with the Xtream Codes login and your version of the app offers catch-up. Some versions show a Catch Up tile on the home screen beside Live TV, Movies and Series; others reach past programs from the guide view inside Live TV. If neither appears, update the app.
Is Nartiel8k catch-up the same thing as recording?
No. Catch-up streams from the server’s archive, needs no storage at home and lasts only as long as each channel’s window. A recording is a file on your own device that stays until you delete it; in TiviMate it is a Premium feature, and plenty of free players cannot record at all.
