    • If the domain name is registered through VidyoTV.COM and the Name Servers are not the same as those required to use the DNS Service, the system will display a Auto-update the nameservers for me button. Clicking this button will automatically update the Name Servers.
       
    • If the domain name is registered through VidyoTV.COM and is using the Name Servers required to use the DNS Service, these Name Servers will be displayed for informational purpose.
       
    • If the domain name is not registered with VidyoTV.COM, the Name Servers required to use the DNS Service will be displayed.
