Tariff

Adding channels to the tariff plan

The tariff plan defines a set of added channels based on Channel Tags.

Example usage:

  • ‘Channel One’ is adde with ‘public’ and ‘free’ channel tags

  • The ‘Example 24’ channel is added with ‘free’ and ‘private’ channel tags

If your tariff plan includes only the ‘free’ channel tag - two channels will be available, if only ‘public’ - one channel.

The Channels tariff tab serves only for information and allows to see what channels the tariff includes.
