By using Blackouts, OBs can substitute a given TV channel (blackout channel) with other predefined alternate TV channel, for a group of users usually based on geographic location (Blackout region) and for a given time period. For example, some sports leagues only permit games to be televised in their local area if a certain minimum number of tickets are sold to the game, otherwise the game is blacked out for the users in this specific area.
In order to manage blackouts the operator must be a member of OB Administrator’s group.
The Blackout Agent synchronizes only channels (call-letters) that have a FS (Full Screen) and PIP (Picture-in-Picture). If a live channel does not have a related PIP service, it will not be synchronized in MiB.

=== Blackout GRC Areas ===
----
This screen allows the Operator to create, update or delete a Blackout Area (GRC). This area is used to create a region code which the Mediaroom will use to administrate blackouts, it will define in what region the blackout will be applied. This concept is important as it is used to segment IPTV users in different regions on which the Operator can apply a Blackout between two different channels.
