- Plug back in and allow 1 to 2 minutes to fully boot.
- Clear Cache: Settings > Applications > Manage Installed Applications > VyveHDTV > Clear Cache. (This does not delete the app or account.)
- Clear Data: Same screen, select Clear Data. Warn the customer they will need to log back in.
- Force Stop: Same menu, select Force Stop, then relaunch the app.
- Reinstall: Uninstall the VyveHDTV app, search the app store for "VyveHDTV", reinstall, and sign back in.
- Verify in BroadHub: Pull up the account, check the Packaging tab. Package name should end with "Mobi".
- Log into MUST: Search by BroadHub Account ID.
- Open the account: Click EDIT on the customer's row.
- Navigate to Offers: Scroll to the Offers section.
- Compare packages: MUST packages should match BroadHub. Tiers are hierarchical (Limited Basic required for Expanded).
- Add missing packages: Search for the missing package in MUST, check the box to add it.
Common reasons recordings disappear:
- Customer accidentally deleted them
- DVR hours downgraded (oldest removed first)
- Package downgrade (scheduled recordings for removed channels deleted)
- Account deactivation (all recordings deleted immediately, not recoverable)
- Failed recording due to channel feed issue
- Customer selected "Delete" on the post-watch prompt
Series Recording Options:

After 4 hours of inactivity, a "Still watching?" prompt appears. If no response within 5 minutes, the app closes. This is normal and not configurable. Reassure the customer.
Typical delay is up to 2 minutes and 30 seconds behind actual broadcast. This is normal for IPTV and consistent across all internet-delivered television providers. Not a defect.

Billing & Provisioning (MUST)
Managing subscriber accounts through the TiVo MUST portal and BroadHub billing system
System Overview
VyveHDTV uses the TiVo MUST (Mobi Tools) subscriber management system alongside BroadHub/GLDS for billing. Customer accounts are first created in GLDS, then manually replicated into the MUST system. Both systems must stay in sync for proper service delivery.
must-paytv.mobitv.com/must/vyvebroadband-paytv-1.0/subscribers
DVR: 100 hours | Concurrent Streams: 3 | Standby Timer: 4 hours
Adding a New Subscriber
New subscriber accounts have 4 main sections: Account, Whitelist Options, Offers, and Extended Properties.
Enter the customer's GLDS account number and their designated email address (gathered during initial sales). Account Types should remain "Standard" and the Standby Timer should stay at 4 hours.
The Offers section opens automatically. Enter the customer's Zip Code to determine their region (Dallas or Greenville/Spartanburg). Available packages match those in GLDS. Selected offers appear with a blue checkmark.
Tip: Use the Search box to filter by "Residential" or "Commercial" to streamline options.
Unfiltered package view:
The customer's modem MAC address must be entered under Extended Properties.
- Left-click the 3 dots to the right of "This is mandatory"
- Click Edit when it pops up
- Enter the MAC in this format:
1a:2b:3c:4d:5e:6f(12 alphanumeric characters separated by colons, 17 characters total) - Click the Checkmark to confirm
- Click the blue Add button to create the subscriber
A success popup will appear at the top of the screen once the subscriber has been added.
Searching & Reviewing Accounts
Search by Account ID (GLDS account number) or filter by Account Status.
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| Active | Account is active in the Mobi system |
| Inactive | Account has been disconnected and is no longer active |
| Suspended | Account suspended (possibly due to non-payment) |
| Pending Billing Association | No offers associated yet; status changes to Active once offers are assigned |
| Pending IDAM Association | Account not yet associated with an identity management record |
Search results show links to three actions: View, Edit, and Devices.
View & Edit Subscriber Details
Selecting View (Subscriptions) shows active and expired subscription details including offer name, external product ID, and activation/renewal timestamps.
The Edit screen displays full account information similar to the new subscriber screen, plus additional fields: Mobi ID, Password, Parental PIN, and auto-generated Extended Properties (do not edit these).
Password Resets: Always use Reset Password (never Set Password). The customer receives an email from noreply@vyvebroadband.com with reset instructions. This email may appear in the customer's spam folder.
PIN Reset: Resets parental PIN to 0000. Customers must pass account security questions before resetting passwords or PINs.
Commercial Account Configurations
Vyve sells video to commercial customers in two main categories: MDU (apartments/dorms) and Hospitality (hotels/hospitals). Consult the sales agent for exact configuration details. Some options (such as removing DVR or Profile sections from the UI) cannot be undone, so avoid changing these unless instructed by the Vyve or TiVo NOC.

Billing Account is created via Billing Adapter API integration or Daily Transaction File.
Common scenarios:
A: Create IDM record first (status: Pending Billing Association) then create Billing Account (status changes to Active).
B: Create Billing Account first (status: Pending IDAM Association) then create IDM record (status changes to Active).
C: Active account is deactivated and IDM record deleted. Status shows as Pending IDAM Association (effectively inactive).
