A device and a method for enabling access to data from a channel are provided. The device comprises a storage medium for storing the data from the channel as it is received at a network element and a controller. The controller enables commencing storage of at least a portion of multicast data from the channel not already stored on a storage medium as the data is received at a network element, after detecting a request to receive data from the channel. In the event of receiving a subsequent request associated with a user device to receive data from the channel, the data is transmitted from the storage medium to the user device. A controller for controlling storage of the data comprises a memory and a processor.
