NextGen Cable users

Everyone who has signed in to the NextGen Cable app. Only the owner's account can see this page.

🟒 Last seen works like WhatsApp: online now means their app is open (it checks in every 10 minutes while open), then "last seen 5 min ago", "today at 3:40 PM", "yesterday at 8:40 PM", a weekday, or a date. Grey = not seen for over a week, red = not seen for over 30 days. The list is sorted with the most recently seen at the top; hover over a time to see the exact date.

πŸ’³ Click any user to see what they watch (the channel on now or last watched, and for today, 7 or 30 days: the channels, languages, countries and kinds of channel they watch most, and their favourite shows on our Spark channels, and which features they use most: modes, full screen, Movies & Dramas, Games) and their billing details: package, how and how often they pay, next payment date, phone number and notes. The panel lists what's missing; Ask in the app sends them a message and a form to fill in, and the Email, Text and WhatsApp buttons open a ready-made message on your own device for you to send.

🎁 Gifts: in a viewer's panel, Give free Gold turns on Gold for 1 week to 1 year, or forever, with no payment (a Gold package that's still on is made longer). Add free credit gives them dollars that βœ“ Paid today takes off their next payment; their app shows it in πŸ’³ My billing details.

βœ‰ Send message writes to a viewer: the message pops up on their TV over whatever they're watching (within a minute if NextGen Cable is open, otherwise the next time they open it), and they can answer right away with the remote. Their answer shows here, with πŸ’¬ New reply on their row, and in Suggestions β€Ί Messages.

πŸ”‘ Set password gives a viewer a new password you choose; tell it to them and they can change it later in the app's Settings. Their app signs out and asks for the new password. βœ‰ Reset email sends them Firebase's link to make their own (only works if the email is real). Nobody can see a viewer's current password: it's stored scrambled.

βš™ Account (at the bottom of a viewer's panel): β›” Deactivate turns their sign-in off. Their app signs them out within about an hour (or when it next starts) and they can't sign back in until you press βœ“ Reactivate; nothing is deleted. πŸ—‘ Delete permanently (you type DELETE to confirm) removes their sign-in, package, billing details, messages, forum posts and viewing history for good. Delete only works for accounts not seen for more than 2 months. πŸ’Œ Come back reminders (sent automatically each time you open this page): viewers away 7+ days get a friendly message, one more each week, and a final notice with the closing date 2 weeks before the 2-month mark (the banner at the top lists who is due and who is ready to delete; deleting keeps only their email and name on the πŸ“§ Mailing list), in the app (they see it when they next open NextGen Cable) with promo code COMEBACK (the same gift as WELCOME, each account once); the Activity summary sends them all with one button, and WhatsApp / Email open a ready message on your device. Both use your Google owner permission, like Set password.

βž• Add user makes a NextGen Cable account for someone before they install the app: type their name, email and a password you choose, then tell them. They open NextGen Cable, choose email sign-in and type the same email and password. They can change the password later in the app's Settings.

It pops up over whatever they're watching, within a minute if NextGen Cable is open; if the TV is off, the next time they open it. They answer with one press of the remote (πŸ‘ OK, got it / Thank you! / Please call me) or type an answer, and it appears here at once. Ctrl+Enter sends.

The package they can actually use is turned on at Packages (that sets their end date). βœ“ Paid today sets "last paid" to today and moves "next payment due" forward by one plan length. Phone numbers are only seen by you and are used to contact the viewer about their package.
