A television receiver apparatus is described. The television receiver apparatus comprises an input interface arranged to receive commands from a user, a communication interface arranged to send and receive data over a one-to-one communication network, a broadcast receiver arranged to receive data sent over a broadcast network, a display interface arranged to connect to a display device, and a processor. The processor controls the display device to display an electronic programme guide comprising a schedule of programmes currently being broadcast, programmes to be broadcast after the current time, and programmes previously broadcast in a time period prior to the current time. The processor receives a request to view a selected programme displayed in the electronic programme guide, retrieves the selected programme from the communication network if the selected programme was previously broadcast in the time period, and controls the display device to display the selected programme.
