Enabling FAST channels

FAST (Free Ad-Supported Streaming Television) allows end user access to free TV channels. The content on FAST channels is free to watch because it is supported by advertising.

To provide FAST, the content provider needs the unique identifier for the device playing the channel. This identifier is shared with the content provider when FAST is enabled for a channel.

You can enable FAST for an existing channel, or when you create a new channel.

To enable a FAST channel

1. Navigate to IPTV Channels > Channels.
2. Create a new channel, or open an existing channel by selecting its name in the Title column.
