How low is WebRTC latency compared to other protocols?

What is catch-up TV in IPTV?
Catch-up TV is an IPTV feature that lets viewers watch programs that have already been broadcast on live TV, so they can catch up on shows or movies they missed without scheduling anything in advance.
Video Platform, Live Streaming
How does catch-up TV work?
The IPTV provider records live channels in real time and stores the content on a central server. Once a show has aired, it appears in the catch-up library for a limited window, where viewers can browse, select, and stream it on demand.
