Selecting Watch from Start will start playback from the beginning of the current programme.
IfÌýa programme started over two hours ago...
Live Restart can rewind up toÌýtwo hours, so if the programme started over two hours ago you will not be offered the option to watch from the beginning. Instead, you will be offered Watch fromÌý[two hours ago]Ìý- for example, if it’s now 8pm and the programme started at 5pm, you'll be offered Watch From 6pm.
If you're watching on the TV app, you can watch from the beginning of the current programme only - you can't rewind beyond this, however programmes which have finished are usually available on demand shortly after the broadcast.Ìý
