IPTV is a Data product; always troubleshoot the modem and its connection to the IPTV device before troubleshooting the IPTV device

If the IPTV box was moved to another location, network, or account, ask the customer to return it to its original location
Just like a laptop or gaming system, an IPTV box needs a good connection to the modem to work properly
Always check for outages before troubleshooting

Verify the account is Active and in good financial standing
Make sure there is a valid phone number in the Home Phone field in ICOMS
Make sure nDVR code is on the proper occurrence(s)
- Warning: if the NDVR code is already there, do not remove it and add it again
Verify the Serial Number / TSN Number is correct, then send a Balance hit
Ensure the internet equipment is online in Merlin, with no signal issues or packet loss
Use the IPTV tab in Merlin to make sure the IPTV box is connected to the customer's network
Next, power cycle all internet equipment
Once all internet equipment is back online, make sure the IPTV box is connected to the customer's network
- For hardwired connections to IPTV boxes, check the physical connection
- For wireless connections, check the wireless network health and RSSI signal (signal to the equipment) in Merlin
Power cycle the IPTV box, following these steps carefully
