VOD stands for video on demand. In an IPTV app, it's the library of movies and series that you can start whenever you like, pause, rewind and resume—like a streaming service, inside the same app as your live channels.
Live TV vs VOD vs catch-up
| Live TV | VOD | Catch-up | |
|---|---|---|---|
| When you watch | As it airs | Any time | Within a few days after airing |
| Pause / rewind | Limited | Yes | Yes |
| Content | Channels | Movies and series library | Past programs from supported channels |

Where to find VOD in your app
- IPTV Smarters: "Movies" and "Series" tiles on the home screen.
- TiviMate: Movies and Series sections (with Xtream login).
- Apple apps (APTV, IPTVX, UHF): separate VOD tabs with posters.
Tip: Xtream logins organize VOD much better than M3U playlists. See Xtream Codes explained.
Getting the best VOD experience
- Use search instead of scrolling.
- Check audio and subtitle options in the player menu.
- Use a stable connection for 4K titles.
