Catch Up TV is a cool feature of eLife TV that allows you to catch up with TV content you may have missed from your favourite TV channels. Using your eLife TV remote control you can access the Catch Up TV application, select from the available channels listed and go back in time up to seven days to watch the program you may have missed.

High-definition HD) is the greatest advancement in television since the arrival of colour TV in the 1960s. Until now, TV picture quality has been limited in resolution by the "number of lines" displayed on screen; about 625. This has not changed since TV standards were established. Even the best TV picture broadcast was never sharp and crisp or deep with details due to this limit which was locked-in due to the early TV technology limitations. The new HD standard is a huge step forward. Full HD displays a picture in 1080 lines of resolution so that fine details of a scene or textures and shades of objects are presented well.

No. Only channels that are recorded and broadcast in High Definition will be in HD.

Three things must be present to enjoy HD TV:
- HD content and signal from a broadcaster
- An eLife TV set-top box
- An HD-ready or full-HD TV screen

The LED, LCD or Plasma TV screens being sold today are offered in these two resolutions mainly due to cost differences. An HD-Ready screen can receive and display HD TV picture with excellent quality and performance. However, when viewed side-by-side to a similar screen that is Full HD, there is a noticeable increase in picture quality due to the higher resolution.
