               This will feel familiar to you. Just use the channel up and down buttons on the remote.

                                                 PAUSE LIVE TV

                                   whatever is currently live on the active channel.

    A Digital Video Recorder, or DVR, is a simple way to watch your favorite shows when it is convenient for you.
              Every OEC Fiber TV subscription includes free DVR storage accessible across all profiles.

    There are no limits to the number of channels that can be recorded simultaneously. The only constraint is
    the number of hours allowed with your subscription tier. DVR storage is shared across all profiles. Once a
            show is recorded, it is accessible by everyone on the account both at home or on the go.

     Access recorded shows on the go on nearly any device with an internet connection. OEC Fiber TV allows
       the user to record any TV program and watch it when convenient. It also allows the user to schedule
    recordings, play back shows, delete and manage recordings from all OEC Fiber TV devices at home or on
     the go through the OEC Fiber TV app. The DVR allows for all of your favorite options, like end a recording
                          late, record only new episodes or choose channel preferences.

       Real-time storage capacity for the account is shown at the top right of the Manage Recordings screen
    (found under your profile). If you need more hours than your current subscription tier allows, additional DVR
      storage options are available. Call OEC Fiber at 405-217-6868 or visit OECFiber.com for more information.

                                   PARENTAL CONTROLS
             To restrict available content by ratings on OEC Fiber TV, activate Parental Controls in
              the Settings menu as descibed below. Parental Controls constrain full view access
             to content rated R, TVMA or NC17 unless a PIN is entered. Full access to the content
           resumes after entering the correct PIN. It is highly recommended to at least set up a PIN.
            This will need to be entered prior to viewing any mature content rated R, TVMA or NC17.

             The Parental Controls setting is either enabled or disabled and is accessed through
            the Profile Settings in the Main Menu. At first access, the user will be asked to create a
            4-digit PIN. This PIN will be used to restrict access to the Parental Controls and mature
                         content. You can also change or reset your PIN from this menu.

           NOTE: Content that is restricted by the Parental Controls settings will still be viewable through
           the Picture in Picture display. Parental Controls are predicated on the content being rated. On
            occasion, one may encounter some programming not rated by the content provider. At this
                                 time, Parental Controls are limited to live TV viewing.

                                    CLOSED CAPTIONING
                 Closed captioning provides a text overlay for all programming that provides this
               service. To activate, click the select button while watching live TV. This brings up the
                media player controls on an overlay screen at the bottom. Navigate to the Audio/
                Subtitle option on the Main Menu and press the select button to toggle it on or off.
