Live TV follows the channel
Choose the live channel when you want the programme currently being broadcast. The schedule continues independently of when you open the app. If the programme has already started, the live picture normally represents its current point rather than automatically beginning at the first scene.
Start Over concerns the current programme
Nine’s homepage help describes Start Over for the current broadcast programme. Use it where the service offers that option and you want to begin after arriving late. It is not the same as creating a permanent recording or a promise that every event will remain available after broadcast.
Catch-up opens an individual programme
An on-demand episode is selected from its programme page. Its availability and episode list are distinct from the live schedule. After a programme finishes, check that page for the actual catch-up offer rather than assume that Start Over has saved a copy to your account.
Use the mode that answers the task
For a scheduled news bulletin, choose the live channel if you want the current transmission. For a drama episode watched after dinner, use the episode listing. For a programme already in progress, try Start Over if shown. These are three different actions rather than three names for the same stream.
| Your aim | Starting point |
|---|---|
| Watch what the channel is showing now | Live TV |
| Begin the current broadcast from its start | Start Over, if offered |
| Choose a completed episode | Programme’s on-demand page |
Keep device and account differences in view
The layout can differ across supported devices. Sign in with the verified Nine profile and inspect the actual controls on the household television. A feature shown on a phone is useful context, but it is not proof of the same control in every television app. If an episode or option is unavailable, record the device and programme before looking for the matching official help.
Questions about this guide
Is Start Over a personal recording?
No. Nine describes it as a control for restarting the current programme where offered.
Does live playback prove every episode is on demand?
No. The live schedule and catch-up collection are different offers.
