===Video-on-demand services===
UniMás provides [[video on demand]] access for delayed viewing of full episodes of the network's programming through various means, including via [[Hulu]]'s Hulu Latino platform through a content deal with the service. The network also a traditional VOD service – UniMás on Demand – which is carried on most traditional cable and [[IPTV]] providers, which originally launched on February 1, 2011, as TeleFutura On Demand, and also offers the network's news programming, tape-delayed versions of its sports telecasts and feature film content alongside telenovelas.<ref>{{cite web|title=TeleFutura Debuts Video-On-Demand Ch.|url=http://www.tvnewscheck.com/article/48596/telefutura-debuts-videoondemand-ch|website=TVNewsCheck|publisher=NewsCheck Media|date=January 24, 2011|access-date=November 7, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=TeleFutura To Bow Dedicated VOD Channel On Feb. 1|url=http://www.multichannel.com/news/technology/telefutura-bow-dedicated-vod-channel-feb-1/258293|author=Mike Reynolds|periodical=Multichannel News|publisher=NewBay Media|date=January 24, 2011|access-date=November 7, 2015}}</ref>

Due to restrictions imposed on the streaming service by Univision Communications, Hulu limits day-after-air streaming of newer episodes of UniMás' programs to subscribers of its subscription service until eight days after their initial broadcast, in order to encourage live or same-week (via both [[digital video recorder|DVR]] and cable on demand) viewing. Like the video-on-demand television services provided by the other U.S. broadcast networks, UniMás on Demand disables [[fast forward]]ing for content provided through the service.

====UVideos====
Since the service launched on October 29, 2012, Univision Communications' multi-platform streaming service UVideos has made full-length episodes of UniMás' programs (including those produced by Televisa and its other content providers) available on its website at UVideos.com and companion [[mobile app]] for [[smartphone]]s and [[tablet computer]]s supporting the [[iOS]] and [[Android (operating system)|Android]] platforms (with programs streamable over [[3G]] and [[WiFi]] networks).<ref>{{cite news|title=Univision to Start Its First Digital Network|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/29/business/media/univision-to-start-uvideos-its-first-digital-network.html?_r=0|author=Tanzina Vega|author-link=Tanzina Vega|newspaper=The New York Times|date=October 28, 2012|access-date=November 7, 2015}}</ref> The most recent episodes are usually made available for streaming on the service (as well as Univision on Demand) the day after their original broadcast to subscribers of participating pay television providers (such as [[Comcast]], [[Verizon FiOS]] and [[Time Warner Cable]]) using an [[Internet service provider|ISP]] account via an authenticated user login. The service also includes select original digital content, user-enabled English subtitling for most programs (except for excerpts from Noticiero Univision broadcasts) as well as a social stream featuring viewer comments from the UVideos and other [[social media]] platforms, which are time-synched to the user's local [[time zone]] to mimic a live relay to the user as posted during the program's original broadcast.<ref name=mediapost-uvideos>{{cite web|title=Univision Launches TV Everywhere Service with Timed Social Comments, Apple & Android Apps|url=http://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/186192/univision-launches-tv-everywhere-service-with-time.html|author=Daisy Whitney|website=OnlineMediaDaily|publisher=MediaPost Publications|date=October 30, 2012|access-date=November 7, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Why You Should Be Watching UVideos|url=http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2012/12/06/uvideos_univision_s_great_new_online_service.html|author=June Thomas|website=[[Slate (magazine)|Slate]]|publisher=[[Engadget]]|date=December 6, 2012|access-date=November 7, 2015}}</ref>

====Univision Now====
On November 18, 2015, Univision Communications launched Univision Now, an [[Over-the-top content|over-the-top]] subscription video on demand streaming service, which features program content from both UniMás and Univision without requiring an existing pay television subscription in order to access.<ref>{{cite news|title=Univision Launches Live Streaming Service|url=https://www.thewrap.com/univision-now-streaming-service-live-tv-unimas/|author=Tony Maglio|website=The Wrap|publisher=The Wrap Media, LLC|date=November 18, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Univision Introduces Live Subscription Streaming Service Univision Now|url=https://deadline.com/2015/11/univision-now-subscription-streaming-service-launch-1201628590/|author=David Lieberman|website=Deadline.com|publisher=Penske Media Corporation|date=November 18, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Univision launches new streaming service|url=https://money.cnn.com/2015/11/18/media/univision-streaming-service/|author=Brian Stelter|author-link=Brian Stelter|website=CNN Money|publisher=Time Warner|date=November 18, 2015}}</ref><ref name="thr-univisionnow">{{cite web|title=Univision Launches Streaming Video Service|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/univision-launches-streaming-video-service-841793|author=Georg Szalai|periodical=The Hollywood Reporter|publisher=Prometheus Global Media|date=November 18, 2015}}</ref> The service – which is available for either $5.99 per month or $59.99 per year, although prospective users can access content through a seven-day free trial – is initially available via a dedicated website ([http://www.univisionnow.com univisionnow.com]), and apps for iOS and Android devices.<ref name="thr-univisionnow"/><ref name="bw-univisionnow">{{cite press release|title=Univision Communications Launches Direct to Consumer Video Service – Univision NOW – Delivering Live Stream of Univision and UniMás Networks|url=http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20151118005788/en/Univision-Communications-Launches-Direct-Consumer-Video-Service|agency=BusinessWire|publisher=Univision Communications|date=November 18, 2015}}</ref><ref name="variety-univisionnow">{{cite web|title=Univision Launches Live Subscription-Video Service, Univision Now|url=https://variety.com/2015/digital/news/univision-now-live-streaming-subscription-1201643429/|author=Todd Spangler|periodical=Variety|publisher=Penske Media Corporation|date=November 18, 2015}}</ref>

The service carries UniMás' alternative series, classic series previously seen on the network and live soccer matches from Liga MX and Major League Soccer; a live stream of the network's main feed is also available, and incorporates a DVR-style "rewind" feature allowing users to replay live content up to 72 hours after their broadcast. New episodes of prime time series aired on UniMás and Univision – both original content and programs from their distribution partners – are made available for streaming the day after their broadcast on the two linear television networks and are accessible for seven days following their airdate. Restrictions imposed by film studios that supply such content for the network prohibit certain movies carried on UniMás from being made available on Univision NOW.<ref name="bw-univisionnow"/><ref name="variety-univisionnow"/>

===UniMás HD===
UniMás' master feed is transmitted in [[1080i]] [[high-definition television|high definition]], the native resolution format for Univision Communications' network television properties. However, twelve UniMás-affiliated stations – all but one of which is owned by Entravision Communications – currently transmit the network's programming in [[480i]] [[standard-definition television|standard definition]],<ref name="re">{{cite web|title=Stations for Network - UniMás|url=http://www.rabbitears.info/search.php?request=network_search&network=UniMas|website=[[RabbitEars]]|access-date=November 7, 2015}}</ref> either due to technical considerations for affiliates of other major networks that carry programming from another network in high definition on their main channel or because a primary feed UniMás affiliate has not yet upgraded their transmission equipment to allow content to be presented in HD.

What was then TeleFutura launched its high definition simulcast feed at 12:02&nbsp;a.m. [[Eastern Time Zone|Eastern]] and [[Pacific Time Zone|Pacific Time]] on January 1, 2010, on its East and West Coast flagship stations in New York City and Los Angeles, [[WFUT-DT|WFUT]]/[[WFTY-DT]] and [[KFTR-DT]] (which, along with Univision, became the last two U.S. broadcast networks to begin offering their programming in HD).<ref>{{cite web|title=Univision and Telefutura en HD starting Monday|url=http://hd.engadget.com/2009/12/05/univision-and-telefutura-en-hd-starting-monday/|author=Richard Lawler|website=Engadget|publisher=AOL|date=December 5, 2009|access-date=April 11, 2015|archive-date=March 13, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120313012753/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/12/05/univision-and-telefutura-en-hd-starting-monday/|url-status=dead}}</ref> Most of the network's programming is presented in HD {{as of|October 2015}} (including most telenovelas; sports programs, including soccer events; newsmagazines; and most feature films, depending on the availability of high-definition "television" cuts of films) is broadcast by the network in high definition; exceptions exist with certain telenovelas, sitcoms and variety series as well as select children's programs aired as part of the network's weekend morning children's block produced prior to 2008 that air in reruns, which continue to be presented in their native [[4:3]] standard definition format. [[DirecTV]] began carrying the Eastern Time Zone feed of the HD simulcast nationwide on April 28, 2010;<ref>{{cite press release|title=DIRECTV Launches Univision and TeleFutura in Crystal-Clear HD|url=http://dtv.client.shareholder.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=464645|website=[[DirecTV]]|publisher=[[DirecTV Group]]|date=April 28, 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110716051325/http://dtv.client.shareholder.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=464645|archive-date=July 16, 2011}}</ref> Dish Network subsequently added it two weeks later on May 12, 2010.<ref>{{cite web|title=Dish To Launch Galavision HD|url=http://www.multichannel.com/news/cable-operators/dish-launch-galavision-hd/328683|author=Mike Reynolds|periodical=Multichannel News|publisher=NewBay Media|date=May 12, 2010}}</ref> TeleFutura's HD format was also rebranded as UniMás HD on January 7, 2013.
