[[File:VODChannelDeviceAvailabilityMappingBlock3DeviceAvailabilitiesBlock.pngjpg|thumb|VOD Channel device Device availability block|center|800px]]
<br />
The This block has been totally refactored in MIB 3.0, with the objective of simplifying the operation. It has been divided in 3 different levels that can be expanded or collapsed:# Instance level: The first level groups all the device availabilities for an instance. It can be used to enable/disable the availabilities and configure the quality for all the device types at the same time. In a VOD ChannelMenu, it is not possible to create availabilities for different instances. It is just possible to create availabilities into the instance the VOD channel Menu belongs to. The instance is calculated based on the VOD channel Menu parent channel, until recursively reaches a root channel that will be linked to an Instance.
# Device Group level: The second level groups all the device types that belong to an specific group. Device Groups are managed globally in the [[Device_Type_Groups_Page_Manual_3.0|Device Type Groups page]]. You can enable/disable the availabilities and configure the quality for all the device types of an specific group.
# Device Type level: The third level contains the specific device types, in case you want to configure the availability and/or quality of an specific device type.
