VBrick Systems ETV v4.2 manual Live Broadcasts Channel Guide

Channel Guide

The Live Broadcasts page has a list of streams and stations. The "Channel Guide" is simply the list of stations (both custom stations and TV stations) shown at the top of the list. Custom Stations are defined by an administrator at your site. TV Stations already have program information provided by a third-party content provider. Other auto-discovered streams on your network may be displayed but these do not include "programming" data and are not considered to be part of the Channel Guide. The message "Program Unavailable" in the Channel Guide means there is no programming data associated with the stream. It does not mean the stream itself is unavailable. You can still click on the stream to launch it in the preview window.You can perform all of the following tasks from the Channel Guide:

•Navigate and view program information

•Play programs and record programs

•Schedule program recording

•View recording information

•View station information

Note VBrick has partnered with a leading content provider, to provide news, information, and entertainment content on the Portal Server. This is optional service that requires a license and may not be supported at your site.
