TV FAQs

1. Will I know if I’m receiving an incoming call while I’m

viewing or listening to a media clip?

No. All incoming calls will roll into voicemail while

you are playing a clip. If the caller leaves a voicemail,

you will see the voicemail icon on the screen.

2. How long are the clips? Will I know the estimated

time it will take to play the clip prior to accessing it?

Once you have selected a channel, you will see a

listing of the available clips, with each clip’s length

displayed after the clip’s title. In general, a clip’s

duration will depend on the story or content being

provided, and can be fairly short or as long as a

few minutes.

5. After purchasing access to an Available Channel for a

monthly fee, do I receive any confirmation? That is,

how do I know it has been purchased?

The next time you access the channel, you bypass

the Preview/Purchase dialog box and go directly to

the available content.

6. If I don’t subscribe to a data plan, will I still be able to

view the multimedia clips?

Yes. For service access charges, please consult

your Sprint service plan or visit sprint.com.

3. Can I access a clip wherever I am, as long as I have

my device?

As long as you are on the Nationwide Sprint

Network, you will have access to the audio and

video clips.

7. What does it mean when the video pauses and I see

the word “loading” at the bottom of the screen?

This happens when the device is loading the data

necessary to play the clip. It typically occurs when

there is heavy traffic on the network.

Note: Sprint TV service does not work while roaming off of

the Nationwide Sprint Network or where service is

unavailable.

230

8. How can I cancel service if I decide I don’t want it?

To cancel your Sprint TV service, visit sprint.com

and sign on to My Sprint with your account number

and password. From this page, you have the ability

to cancel the service or any channels to which you

subscribe.

10. Can I surf to a different channel while I am playing a

clip?

Yes. While you are playing a clip, tap the screen to

surf to a different channel. The Live Channels list at

the bottom of the screen will tell you which channel

you are watching as well as other channels that

you have access to. Slide your finger on the screen

to scroll through the channels. Once you find a

channel, show, or movie that you want to watch,

scroll to it and then tap it.

9. If I put on my stereo headset and insert it into the

device’s headset jack, can I turn off the screen while I

am playing an audio (or video) clip without

interrupting the clip?

Yes. When you insert your stereo headset into the

device’s headset jack, the device automatically

goes into “headset mode,” allowing you to turn the

screen off and continue playing the clip. 



(Likewise, if your device is in “headset mode,” a

phone call will not disconnect when you turn off

the screen.)
