TIG (Optional) 
The TIG parameter indicates that this space is being reserved on the SAM as a 

channel dedicated to displaying specific xOD program offerings. If this is not the 

case, do not use this parameter. Also, do not use this parameter for the base xOD 

package (for example, HBO On Demand). 
If you are planning to use the TIG feature, you must register each TIG channel 

separately with the SAM. For example, you could choose to dedicate channel 200 to 

show specific movies from the HBO On Demand program lineup. This way, 

subscribers do not have to access the xOD catalog window to see that those 

particular movies are offered. Instead they could order them through the IPG. 
Because the offerings are considered subsets of the HBO On Demand service, you do 

not need to add separate packages for them. You would simply use the HBO On 

Demand package EID in the SAM Application URL. However, you do need to allot 

the channel space on the SAM. In this example, you might call the TIG channel 

HOD1. 

 

REQ#|#,SUB# (Optional) 
Including the REQ# | #,SUB# parameters in the argument list indicates that you 

want the xOD application to function as an SVOD service. If you include only the 

REQ parameter in the argument list, the xOD application will function as a PPV 

service. 
These parameters specify the base services that you require subscribers to have in 

order to receive PPV or SVOD and the type of service package that the SVOD 

application provides authorized subscribers. For subscribers to receive SVOD 

service, both of these parameters must be present in the argument list. 
To specify the base services and service package that your PPV or SVOD application 

uses, replace the # symbols with the entitlement IDs (EIDs) of base services and the 

service package as described in the following paragraphs: 

 

The REQ# | # parameter indicates the base services that you require for PPV or 

SVOD, such as HBO or HBO Family. For example, if the base service you require 

is HBO and its EID is 1, type REQ1 in the argument list, replacing the # symbol 

with the number 1. As another example, if the base service you require is HBO 

Family and its EID is 3, type REQ3 in the argument list. 

 

If you require that your subscribers have more than one base service to receive 

PPV or SVOD, add additional EIDs to this parameter and separate each EID with 

a pipe symbol (|). For example, if you require subscribers to have both HBO and 

HBO Family in order to receive PPV or SVOD, type REQ1|3 in the argument list.
