Overview
A client application will receive messages from OpenTV Platform and should process each message appropriately.
A message can be of the following types:
-
General notification – sent by the operator, generally used for marketing or informational messages
-
Emergency Alert System messages (US only) – official emergency alert messages
-
Entitlement changes – sent by OPF when an entitlement change occurs to the account that the device belongs to
-
EPG update – sent by OPF when there is a change to metadata or event times
Prerequisites
A client application must register with Open Device Messaging (ODM) before it can receive messages.

Message formats
The format of the message that is received by a client and how the client is expected to handle it depend on the type of message.
