Yoigo TV

What Yoigo TV is for

Yoigo TV is a television app. Live channels, an on-demand library and recording all sit inside one app, so watching TV can move from the living room to a phone or tablet.

The channels cover film, series, sports, documentaries, reality shows and lifestyle. It suits people who want their television with them, rather than someone looking for a streaming library that has no link to broadcast channels.

The listing gives the app a Parental guidance rating. Given the reality and sports content in the mix, households with younger viewers may want to check what is airing before handing over the device.

Watching live channels and rewinding

The app streams live TV channels. While a program is on air you can pause it, or jump back to its beginning.

That makes it possible to step away mid-show and come back to the part you were watching, without missing the opening.

Catching up with Last 7 Days

Last 7 Days is the app's catch-up feature. It lets you watch a program up to seven days after it was first broadcast.

It is the place to go for a show you missed during the week, without having to be in front of the set when it aired.

On-demand films and series from Rakuten Videoclub

Alongside the live channels, the library draws on Rakuten Videoclub. The listing describes it as thousands of on-demand titles, including new releases that arrive every week.

Browsing that catalogue is the way to find something to watch when nothing on the schedule appeals.

Downloading and recording for later

Content can be downloaded to a phone or tablet, so you can watch it later.

Recording works on the TV channels. Any program or series can be recorded, so a show that airs while you are busy can be kept until you have time for it.
