I NEED HELP! TROUBLESHOOTING ON DEVICES Sometimes things don’t quite work how you want them to. But these answers should help see you right when using the app to play Movie Box (see page 21) and live Subscription TV channels (see page 23) on mobiles and tablets.

HOW MANY PLAYBACK DEVICES ARE ALLOWED? A playback device is any paired mobile or tablet on which you can play Optus TV content. You can only have up to 3 registered playback devices at any time for watching live Subscription TV channels and Movie Box. Optus TV will register your mobile or tablet the first time you play Subscription TV or Movie Box on it. You can then register 2 more mobiles or tablets to have a total of 3 playback devices for this type of content.

Figure 40: Registering a device for playback of Movie Box

34

OPTUS TV REMOTE APP USER GUIDE > TROUBLESHOOTING

SWITCHING PLAYBACK DEVICES You can switch playback devices if you already have 3 playback devices registered and need to add a new device. If you try to watch Subscription TV or Movie Box on the unregistered mobile or tablet, the app will prompt you to switch out an existing device. There is a limit of 2 switches per calendar month and 10 switches per calendar year.

Figure 41: Playback Unavailable (maximum number of registered devices)

• If you Cancel the warning, you won’t be able to watch a Movie Box movie or Subscription TV on this new mobile or tablet. However, you can still watch on your set-top box and TV, or on one of your other registered playback devices. • If you choose to Switch Out, you may then choose the device to switch out, and will then need to enter your Parental PIN to proceed.

Figure 42: Choose mobile or tablet

Figure 43: Enter Parental PIN

Once your new mobile or tablet is registered, the content will start playing. If your device cannot be registered at this point, the app will inform you.

35

OPTUS TV REMOTE APP USER GUIDE > TROUBLESHOOTING

WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU REACH THE SWITCH OUT LIMIT? If you’ve already switched playback devices twice this month or 10 times this year, the app will let you know.

Figure 44: Playback unavailable this month or year

You can still watch on your set-top box and TV.

CAN I PLAY CONTENT ON MORE THAN ONE MOBILE DEVICE AT THE SAME TIME? Yes. You can watch Movie Box or Subscription TV on up to 2 of your playback devices at the same time. If you try to play Movie Box or Subscription TV while your other 2 playback devices are currently playing this type of content, the app will prompt you to stop playback on one of the other devices.
