Well, with the additions to the outfit's Xbox One (http://www.engadget.com/2013/11/20/microsoft-xbox-one-review/) app it looks like the dream of accessing your favorite channel's past streams and highlights -- instead of just live broadcasts -- are a reality. Twitch says (http://blog.twitch.tv/2014/12/xbox-one-gets-all-new-twitch-features/) that the archived 'casts will become a part of a given user's channel page "gradually," and that it's going to be a rollout that spans throughout 2015 as your favorite channels come online with "the new system." What's more, no estimate was given regarding a timeframe for the feature to hit other platforms (http://www.engadget.com/2013/11/14/sony-playstation-4-review/). VOD is just scratching the surface, though.
