OnyxPlay · Support & Operations

Lights on.
Pager ours.

From go-live onward, the headend is operated from our NOC in Mumbai — round-the-clock staffing, paged on every alert, on a bridge with your team for every P1. You run the network and the subscriber. We run everything that streams.

The support model

Three tiers. Two of them ours.

You keep the subscriber relationship — that's Tier 1, the same conversation you already have for broadband. Everything that touches the platform or the edge sits with OnyxPlay engineering, pager-backed and timed.

01 Tier 1
You owns

Subscriber-facing

Login resets, app installs, billing questions, plan changes — anything a CSR can resolve from the Partner Portal in a few minutes.

Subscriber password and MAC resets
Plan up / downgrade and suspensions
EPG and channel-not-found questions
App install walk-through on smart TVs
Backed by
Scripted flows refreshed each release · live portal sandbox for new-hire onboarding
02 Tier 2
OnyxPlay owns

Platform & integration

Anything affecting more than one subscriber — billing-webhook lag, DRM-license errors, EPG disputes, app-store outages.

Webhook retries and billing reconciliation
DRM license diagnostics across devices
EPG feed disputes with broadcasters
App-store outage triage and workaround
Backed by
Direct line from your portal · ticketed and timed · SLA clock visible to your team
03 Tier 3
OnyxPlay owns

Edge & headend engineering

The hardware, the routing, the DRM keystore, the origin. The work that happens in our cage and on your BGP-speaking router.

Anycast node withdrawal and traffic shift
Cache pre-warm for tournament-scale events
Origin, packager, and keystore recovery
Hardware RMA and burn-in re-run

Escalation ladder

Five rungs.
None of them voicemail.

The pager wakes a human, and the page travels up the company by the clock — not by request. Direct phone numbers for the executive and officer rungs are issued on the day you sign.

Auto-page · no ask required
Escalation is timer-driven. If a rung doesn’t close a P1 inside its window, the next rung wakes automatically — all the way up to the officer line. Your team never has to chase up the ladder.
L1
NOC engineer on shift
First response

Pager wakes the on-call. Triage opened, incident posted, first comms drafted before anyone has to ask.

L2
Shift lead
Shift escalation

Brought on if a P1 hasn't closed inside the first window. Owns the bridge and customer comms.

L3
Edge SRE on-call
Engineering

Brought on for routing, cache, DRM, or hardware. Hands on the box, remote or on-site.

L4
VP Engineering
Executive

Page-out for any P1 that crosses the engineering window. Direct line to your VP — phone issued on day one.

L5
CTO
Officer

Page-out for any P1 that crosses the executive window. Owns the post-mortem personally and signs the credits.

Deployment assistance · ongoing

Year two looks like year one.

New channels, new metros, new app releases, new staff to train — the same engineering team that brought you up runs every expansion. No second sales cycle, no professional-services line item.

New channels & language packs

Broadcaster MoU, EPG mapping, entitlement update — pushed across your edge on a published turnaround.

Standard turnaround
broadcaster to live
MoU negotiated under the OnyxPlay master licence
EPG mapping and catalog injection across all nodes
Entitlement and bouquet update without subscriber action
Marketing assets and on-air promo slot handed back

Smart-TV app releases

Monthly cadence across Android TV, Tizen, webOS, Fire TV. We own the store relationships, the builds, and the crash triage.

Monthly cadence
across four platforms
Quarterly UX refresh · monthly bug rolls
Store-side ASO and screenshot refresh on each push
Crash and ANR triage with auto-rollback on regression
Beta channel for your staff before public release

New node bring-up

When you cross a capacity line or open a new metro, we add a node to your anycast cluster — same playbook as day one.

Same playbook
as day one
Reference BoM refreshed to current OEM stock
Remote install over OOB · same signed image
BGP peering added to your existing cluster
Cache pre-warm before the route is announced

Tier-1 training & refreshers

Your support floor on our portal, our scripts, our escalation paths. New-hire onboarding and refreshers included.

Continuous
with quarterly refreshers
New-hire onboarding · live + portal sandbox
Quarterly refresher on script and UI changes
Annual disaster-drill participation
Direct access to our internal training portal

Capacity planning

We watch concurrency, throughput, and cache hit per node — and flag the next iron purchase well before you need it.

Pre-emptive
before iron is needed
Weekly utilisation review with your NOC
Quarterly capacity-plan refresh
Event-driven pre-warm (cricket, festivals, election nights)
OEM lead-time tracking baked into the recommendation

Migration assistance

Coming off a legacy CAS or IPTV stack? We move subscribers, EPG, and entitlements in flight — without a service window.

Zero downtime
standard migration
Subscriber import from any CAS export format
EPG and entitlement reconciliation against broadcaster source
Dual-run window across both stacks for cut-over rehearsal
Hypercare through the first billing cycle
Maintenance cadence

The calendar that runs on its own.

Patching, drills, audits, capacity reviews — the recurring work that keeps an IPTV headend honest. None of it lands on your queue; all of it lands in the SLA report.

Runbook library

Every recurring failure has a script.

The library is versioned, drilled on a quarterly rota, and audited end-to-end every year. When the pager fires in the middle of the night, the engineer on call is reading from the same playbook that worked the last time — not improvising on your subscribers.

Versioned
Every runbook is in git. Every edit reviewed, every change explained.
Drilled
Quarterly rotation through the library — annual full rehearsal, with you on the bridge.
