catch-up TV

Watch shows later

Catch-up TV is on-demand viewing of broadcast programming after its original air time, typically through streaming services provided by networks.

The term reflects the idea of catching up on shows you missed: I watched it on catch-up TV since I wasn't home for the broadcast.

Also called catch-up.
