On Demand
If you purchase an On Demand video title, you may notice that it is not immediately available on your other Pik TV devices. There may be up to a 1 hour delay before your On Demand title appears in the Purchases tab of your Pik TV app across all connected devices.
If you are trying to access On Demand video titles for recently aired TV shows on networks that you subscribe to, you may notice a 1-2 day delay after airing before the titles are available to you on all of your devices. Please note that you will still be able to access these titles from 3rd party applications such as CTV Go, Global and Crave.
When watching Pik TV on your internet browser, some On Demand content may not load immediately. If there is an episode missing from your select TV series, or the movie you are searching for does not appear, try refreshing your browser.
If you pause your On Demand programming and attempt to resume later or on a different device, you may notice that you are not able to pick up where you left off. Selecting On Demand programming will allow you to fast forward.
If you add a TV show or series to your favourites, this selection may be reset and you may need to re-add it after the maintenance period.
