Replay

Replay is similar to LIVE, only that the content is not watched via the live stream but through a catalogue/library. Catchup content is generally only available for a limited time after being broadcasted. There can be different types of replay:

Catchup - Users choose content from a catalogue.
Start Over - Users choose to watch the current content of a channel from the beginning.
Cloud Digital Video Recorder - Users watch content recorded on the cloud.
Personal Video Recorder - Users watch content recorded locally on their devices.

In the case of Replay TV, there is no need to specify the offsetFromLive attribute, but you must specify the contentCompletionMinutes and contentCompletionPercent.
