Module: CHANNEL-CHANGE-MIB
OID (symbolic): CHANNEL-CHANGE-MIB::stopTime
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.1.1.1.1.3.1.4
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: OCTET STRING
Access: read-create
Description: This is the time, expressed in UTC, after which time the channel is not allowed to be viewed. When this time is less than the current time, the bit in the untimedEntitlement1/2 object corresponding to the channel for which this timedEntitlementEntry relates is set to zero (0). Once this is done this timedEntitlementEntry shall also be removed from this table in order to stop this table growing indefinitely. Note that the information may be archived by the management system for audit purposes.
What is stopTime?
This object holds the UTC expiration timestamp after which a timed or pay-per-view entitlement is no longer valid; once that time passes, the system clears the corresponding bit in untimedEntitlements1/2 and removes this timedEntitlementEntry row entirely. This is what actually enforces the time-limited nature of a pay-per-view purchase, so an admin can predict exactly when a customer will lose access to an event channel by reading this field, useful when reconciling billing complaints about access cutting off. A pay-per-view event purchased for a 9pm-11pm broadcast would have stopTime set to the UTC equivalent of 11:00pm, after which access is automatically revoked without manual intervention.
