OPEN View TV FAQs
What devices are supported?
Amazon* Fire OS-based devices, Apple TV, Android TV, iPhone, iPad, Android devices, and Mac or Windows browsers.
* Amazon Vega OS-based devices are not supported.
What is required to install OPEN View TV?
You’ll need a compatible device as specific in our first question. Beyond that, if you’ve ever installed an app, then you have all the background you’ll need. If not, one of our CSRs can walk you through it, usually in just a couple of minutes.
Where can I watch OPEN View TV?
Due to our content agreements, live TV can only be watched from your premises where you subscribe to OPEN View TV. Content that you’ve already recorded can be streamed from any location with a suitably fast internet connection.
For example, if you’re on vacation in Florida and want to watch a live baseball game on OPEN View TV you won’t be able to do it. If you’re on vacation in Florida and recorded a season of your favorite show to watch at night in the hotel room, that would work.
How do I install the OPEN View TV app?
The OPEN View TV app is installed just like any other app from your supported device’s app store. We have video guides posted for many devices in our Support Center.
What kind of internet do I need to use OPEN View TV?
OPEN View TV requires LCI O.P.E.N. Fiber Optic internet service.
How do I get started with OPEN View TV?
- If you do not already own a device, order your streaming device.
- Once your device has arrived, call in to have your account set up (this can take up to a business day).
- Around 4-6 hours after your account email, your “permissions” should be updated to view channels.
- From start to finish this account creation process takes around a day, depending on what time of day your new account is started.
- Have the following information handy when you are ready to install and setup the device(s).
- Device Account (ex: Amazon username and password for Fire Stick)
- Your home Wi-Fi username and password
- OPEN View Account email (the email your provided to us) and Password (provided to your email, after you call in at step 2)
Can I use OPEN View TV over Wifi?
OVTV is a high-quality app-based TV product delivered via Internet connection. Most devices that work with OVTV are Wi-Fi capable. While convenient, a Wi-Fi connection can affect the performance of your device and overall experience with OVTV. If available, Tidewater recommends using a wired Internet connection.
