Getting set up with Optik TV

Managing live TV feeds

Optik TV supports up to 6 TVs and delivers, depending where you live, up to 4 live TV
feeds to your household . A TV feed can be a live TV show, an On Demand program or a
Pay Per View (PPV) event . If you have 2 or more TVs tuned to the same live TV program
you'll only be using 1 live TV feed . Also, watching programs that have already been
recorded on your PVR doesn't use a live feed .
The number of live HD (high definition) programs you can watch at once depends on the
service in the area you live . You may be able to watch between 1 and 3 HD programs
concurrently and another 1 SD (standard definition) at the same time .
If you try to watch or record more live TV programs than you have available feeds, your
Optik TV service will present you with options to either select the programs that you wish
to watch or record, interrupt a program on another TV, or simply watch the program in
SD if there is a SD channel airing that same program .
With your Optik TV PVR, while the live TV feeds are being used to watch or record live
programs, you can watch up to 4 recorded programs on your other TVs . Viewing a
recorded program does not use a live TV feed as it is stored on your PVR .
