Viewing a list of your published channels

If you're a content provider, you can view a list of your published channels (that Lumen® Vyvx® Linear Channel Distribution customers can subscribe to). For each channel, you can view a status for the channel, a list of subscribers, exclude channels from the list, and more. You can also view a list of channels you've excluded from your list of published channels.

To view a list of your published channels:

  1. From the main menu, select Orders > Linear Channel Distribution.

    Media portal lists the available channels you can subscribe to. If you're a content subscriber, you can hover over the blue arrow(s) to the left of the Provider column to view your existing subscription reservations for that channel.

  1. From the View list, select My Channels (Published).

    Media portal lists the channels you've published. In the column to the left of the Reservation Id column, Media portal shows the health of your channel: online (green dot), impaired (yellow dot), degraded (orange dot), offline (red dot), or unknown (gray dot). Channels listed with information (such as the channel name, description, or signal source) in gray are channels excluded from the list of available channels.
