With Live Restart, you can restart a live programme straight away, before it becomes available on demand. How you use Live Restart depends on the device you're using.
First choose a 成人论坛 TV channel from the Channels menu. The programme currently being broadcast is listed as On Now. Then:
Connected TV
There are several ways to restart a live programme:听
- From the 成人论坛 iPlayer听TV app
You have the option to Watch live听or听Watch from听start.
听 - The live restart prompt
If you're watching a 成人论坛 channel on a compatible TV, you may see a prompt on screen to advise that you can watch from the start. Depending on the device, you'll be able to either press the green button or the select/OK button听on your remote control to load听the 成人论坛 iPlayer app and start playback from the beginning. Press the yellow button, or the back button on Sky Q,听to remove the on-screen prompt.
听 - The connected red button
Press the red button on your remote to load the connected red button service. Once loaded you have the option to restart the current programme听which will then load the 成人论坛 iPlayer app and start playing听from the beginning.听

Please note that Live Restart is not available on Chromecast (but we're aware of interest) and a few connected TVs. To check if your TV is supported see the听Does my TV device support Live or Watch from Start? page.
Why doesn't Live Restart always take me back to the precise start of the programme?听听
Live Restart uses scheduled broadcast times as a reference for when a programme starts. Schedules can and do change, so sometimes it may be slightly off. If this happens, you can always use the slider on the player to move forward or back to the precise point when the programme starts.听
Can I rewind the live stream as well?
If you're using the website听or the mobile/tablet app, you can manually select a point in time in the live stream up to a maximum of two hours ago. If you're using the TV app, you can rewind to the beginning of the programme that's currently playing.
Why aren鈥檛 subtitles available when I use Live Restart?
Live subtitles are available through the 成人论坛 iPlayer website and the TV app. This is a trial on all of our channels apart from 成人论坛 Parliament, 成人论坛 Alba and S4C.听We hope to roll out this functionality to the 成人论坛 iPlayer mobile/tablet app听in the future. Our听How do I use subtitles on 成人论坛 iPlayer?听page has more info on using subtitles.
