Can you record IPTV? Recording and DVR explained
How to record live IPTV channels: which apps can record, where recordings are stored, scheduling from the guide, and how recording compares with catch up.
Quick answer
Yes, many IPTV players can record. TiviMate (Premium), MyTVOnline on Formuler and Jellyfin or Plex servers can record a live channel to local or network storage, often scheduled from the guide. Each recording uses one of your plan's screens while it runs.
Recording turns your IPTV setup into a DVR: schedule a programme and watch it later.
Apps that record
| App | Storage | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| TiviMate Premium | Device, USB drive or network | Schedule from the guide |
| MyTVOnline (Formuler) | USB or internal | Built in |
| Jellyfin / Plex | Server disk | Whole-home DVR |
Tips
- Use a USB drive or network folder; sticks have little space.
- An hour of HD takes roughly 1.5 to 3 GB.
- Recording uses one stream, so a 1 screen plan cannot watch another channel at the same time.
No time to plan? Use catch up: IPTV catch up.
