Recording and catch-up

Recording is a player feature. TiviMate records with its Premium upgrade, to device storage or a network drive, while many other players don't record at all. Catch-up is the alternative: on supported channels, Ultra 8K IPTV keeps the last 7 days available to replay without recording anything.

Step by step

  • Check catch-up first. Open the guide and look for the catch-up icon on past programs.
  • Pick a recording player. If you need recordings, use a player that supports them, such as TiviMate Premium.
  • Choose storage. Add a USB drive or a network folder; internal storage on sticks fills up fast.
  • Set the path. For a network folder, enter the share path and a username with write access.
  • Schedule from the guide. Select a future program in the guide and choose Record.

Where recordings go

Streaming sticks have little free storage, so point recordings at a USB drive through an OTG adapter or at a network folder (an SMB share) on a computer or NAS. The share must allow writing, and the path usually looks like smb://computer-name/share. If the app refuses the folder, check the username, password and write permission on the share.

Notes for smart TVs

Most smart TVs have an Ethernet socket on the back; if the router is close, use it instead of Wi-Fi. 4K playback depends on the model, so check that the TV's apps can decode UHD before you pick 4K feeds. Players that suit it: Smarters Player Lite, IBO Pro Player, and SmartOne Pro IPTV.

Still stuck?

If nothing above settles it, message Ultra 8K IPTV on WhatsApp. Say which app and device you use, what the screen shows (a photo helps) and whether every channel is affected or just some. With that, support can check your line, reset a connection or move you to another server, at any hour.

FAQ

Questions people ask us

Not covered here? Send it on WhatsApp and a person on the support desk will answer, any hour of the day.

Is this a setting on my IPTV plan?

No. It’s handled by the player app on each device. Your Ultra 8K IPTV plan provides the channels, guide and on-demand library; the app decides how they are shown.

Do settings carry over to my other devices?

Usually not. Favorites, locks and hidden groups are saved per device unless the player offers a backup or cloud sync.

Which player has the most features?

TiviMate is the usual pick on Fire TV and Android TV for its guide, favorites and recording. IPTV Smarters Pro covers more platforms with a simpler layout.

Will an update reset my settings?

Normal updates keep them. Clearing app data or reinstalling does not, so back up the settings first if the player allows it.
