REplay.lv documents up to two hours of rewind for the LTV1, LTV7 and VisiemLTV linear television streams. That function is not provided for separate live-event streams or audio live streams in the cited guidance. A later on-demand replay is a separate item and depends on programme availability.
First identify what is playing
A channel stream, a standalone live event and a saved programme can use similar branding while offering different viewing controls. Before looking for rewind, establish which one you opened. The channel name is the useful clue for a linear stream; an event title or programme edition identifies the other cases.
REplay’s FAQ explicitly names LTV1, LTV7 and VisiemLTV for its two-hour linear rewind. If you joined one of those streams late, inspect the live player’s timeline for the point you need. Keep the desired programme and approximate point in mind rather than assuming every earlier programme from that day is still inside the window.
A special event can have a different player
The same FAQ says that rewind is not currently available for separate live broadcasts or audio live streams. A missing rewind function there should therefore be assessed against that documented distinction before being treated as a device failure.
For example, joining a standalone cultural-event stream halfway through is a different situation from joining LTV1 halfway through a programme. The useful next question is whether the event has a later published replay, rather than whether the linear-channel timeline can be made to appear on the event page.
Look for the actual on-demand edition
REplay says most live content can be watched later, while some items are licensed for live transmission only. It also carries additional material outside LTV1 and LTV7. Use the event or programme’s official page to see what has actually been published.
If you want to watch tomorrow, save the item link and check its current availability then. Do not treat a working live stream today as proof that an archive copy will exist. If you are sharing an event with someone who missed it, make clear whether the link currently identifies the live page or a later recording.
Make a specific support question
A useful report names the channel or separate event, the date, whether you were watching live or on demand, and which control you expected. Add the official item link if available. This allows the service to distinguish an unavailable function from trouble with a function that should apply to that viewing object.
That small identification step also helps when switching screens. Compare the same stream or recording on both screens; comparing a live channel on one with an event replay on another can produce misleading conclusions about the controls.
