Steps to access DV content (MTS Ultimate TV)

  1. Assume a customer has chosen to set the STB audio to default to "DVS" and to program button "C" on the remote control to control the default audio, effectively turning DV off and on. Changing channels will default the audio to DV. To turn off DV, press "C" on the remote control. An on-screen confirmation will display for approximately five seconds, then the on-screen display will disappear.
  2. To turn on DV again, press "C" on the remote control. An on-screen confirmation will display for approximately five seconds, then the on-screen display will disappear. Currently, the notification regarding which audio track is activated is a five-second, on-screen text message. MTS is exploring the possibility of triggering a sound effect, such as one bell/two bells, to indicate that the audio track is set to normal or DV. This might or might not be possible with the current version of technology.
