The 4 key functions: replay, recording, restart and live control
Before comparing operators, it’s worth clearly distinguishing the four functions that all Luxembourg TV offers provide — but with important differences in their implementation. For a full overview of how internet TV works in Luxembourg, see our internet TV in Luxembourg guide.
These four functions complement each other without replacing each other. Replay covers the common case (« I missed last night »), recording covers planned use (« I’ll be away all week »), restart covers impromptu use (« I start watching late »), and live control covers everyday use (« someone’s at the door »).
POST POP TV — replay and recording in detail
POST offers the most comprehensive replay and recording package among Luxembourg operators, with particularly generous recording capacities. For a full comparison of the POST offer, see our POST TV Luxembourg guide.
The POP TV replay covers 7 days back on over 100 channels. A notable POST feature: you can record a programme already broadcast — take a replay item and transfer it to your personal recordings to keep it beyond the 7-day window. This is rare on the Luxembourg market.
Recording capacity reaches up to 1,000 hours (nPVR cloud) — confirmed on tv.post.lu. This is by far the highest capacity on the Luxembourg market. The WATCH+ option includes 400 hours, and additional 50h per extra decoder can be added (up to 6 decoders total). Remote recording via the POP TV Go app is included as standard.
A TV series (45 min/episode × 20 episodes) = 15 hours
1 football match (120 min) = 2 hours
1 evening of TV (3h) × 30 days = 90 hours
At a 1,000-hour quota, you can record several months of programmes without ever deleting a single file.
The POP TV decoder includes restart (restarting an in-progress programme from the beginning) and full live control (pause, rewind, fast-forward). The Swipe function lets you send what you’re watching on your smartphone directly to the TV, on the same Wi-Fi network.
Tango GO)) TV — replay and recording in detail
For a full comparison of the Tango offer, see our Tango TV Luxembourg guide.
Tango offers 7-day replay on its GO)) TV channels, accessible from the Tango Android TV box and the MyTangoTV Plus mobile app. Tango highlights « unlimited » replay in its communication — meaning replay is not subject to a separate hourly quota, but is freely available on all channels that permit it.
GO)) TV L and XL subscriptions allow recording of up to 200 hours (nPVR cloud), accessible from the Android TV box or the MyTangoTV Plus app on mobile and tablet. Remote scheduling is available via the app, accessible anywhere in Luxembourg and across the EU.
Tango’s « Recommencer » (Restart) function lets you go back to the beginning of an in-progress programme in one click. Full live control (pause, rewind) is available from both the decoder and the MyTangoTV Plus mobile app.
Orange Luxembourg — replay and recording in detail
For a full comparison of the Orange offer, see our Orange TV Luxembourg guide.

Replay rights: why some channels are not available
Broadcasting a programme live and making it available for replay are two distinct rights that operators must negotiate separately with publishers and rights holders. A channel can perfectly well authorise live broadcast while prohibiting or limiting replay. Tango states explicitly: « The features available on your device depend on the rights granted by the TV channels. » This applies to all Luxembourg operators.
| Content type | Replay typically available? | Reason | Recommended solution |
|---|---|---|---|
| General broadcasts (news, documentaries, series) | ✓ Generally yes | Replay rights negotiated in standard agreements | Use replay normally |
| Sports broadcasts | ⚠ Often limited or absent | Sports rights holders push live viewing | Schedule recording before kick-off |
| Recently licensed films | ⚠ Varies by agreement | Licence agreement may not include replay | Record during broadcast if desired |
| Concerts and shows with music rights | ⚠ Sometimes absent | Delayed broadcast music rights not negotiated | Record during broadcast if desired |
Source: Tango.lu (explicit mention of channel rights); general practice on the French, Belgian and Luxembourg TV market.
To avoid being caught out during an important event (decisive match, final, live special), always schedule the recording rather than relying on replay. Your recording belongs to you and is not subject to the same rights restrictions — you can watch a recorded match weeks after it aired.

Frequently asked questions — TV replay and recording in Luxembourg
How long can I keep my POST recordings?
POP TV recordings are kept in the cloud indefinitely — they remain available as long as your hour quota is not reached. You can check available recording space from the Settings tab on your decoder. If you cancel your POP TV subscription, cloud recordings are deleted. There is no option to download them locally.
Can I schedule a recording remotely when I’m not at home?
Yes — all three operators allow remote recording scheduling via their mobile app. With POST, the POP TV Go app lets you schedule, modify and delete recordings from anywhere. With Tango, MyTangoTV Plus offers the same functionality. The recording will start at the scheduled time whether you are home or not.
Is replay available on all channels?
No — replay depends on the rights granted by each TV channel. Some channels or programmes (especially sports, or those with complex music rights) are not available in replay or only partially. This is a market reality that applies to all operators. For content without replay, advance recording is the only solution.
Can I watch my POST recordings from Belgium or France?
Yes — POP TV Go works in all EU countries, including France, Belgium and Germany. You can access live TV, your recordings and replay from the app wherever you are in the EU. Similarly, Tango’s MyTangoTV Plus is available across the EU for GO)) TV customers.
What is the difference between replay and recording?
Replay is an automatic catalogue provided by the operator — programmes are available for 7 days after broadcast, with no action needed from you. Recording is a voluntary action you schedule in advance to keep specific content beyond 7 days, in your personal storage. Replay requires no quota; recording does. For content you want to keep long-term (a whole series season, matches to rewatch), recording is essential.
Can I record multiple programmes at the same time?
Modern Luxembourg operator decoders generally support simultaneous recordings. With Orange, the app allows up to two simultaneous recordings. Exact simultaneous recording capacities depend on your specific offer — check your customer account or contact your operator’s support for precise conditions.
