This blocks allows you to manage the availability of this VOD channel Channel in the different device types in the instance it belongs to. [[File:VODChannelDeviceAvailabilityMappingBlock3DeviceAvailabilitiesBlock.pngjpg|thumb|VOD Channel device Device availability block|center|800px]]

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 Channel, it is not possible to create availabilities for different instances. It is just possible to create availabilities into the instance the VOD channel Channel belongs to. The instance is calculated based on the VOD channel Channel parent channel, until recursively reaches a root channel that will be linked to an Instance.

The sliding button '''Enabled''' column allows you to enable/disable that specific level, affecting the containing sub-levels. It has 3 different positionsvalues:<br />: [[File:SliderOnCheckbox_Full.png|border|middle|80px40px]] The devices contained are enabled.<br />: [[File:SliderOffCheckbox_Empty.png|border|middle|80px40px]] The devices contained are disabled.<br />: [[File:SliderMidCheckbox_Half.png|border|middle|80px40px]] Mixed.
