Channel Guide

The Channel Guide displays a list of custom stations and TV stations. Custom stations are defined by an administrator at your site and may also include programming data (scheduled programs names and times). TV Stations are provided by a third-party content provider and always have programming data. Use the Show Me filter to see what's on. You can view programming information up to 14 days in advance depending on what the channels are available.

VBrick has partnered with a leading content provider for TV stations that 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. The program listing includes some 80+ television programs. These programs are generally "network" listings, such as ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, National Geographic Channel, etc. The programming is hosted on a VBrick-maintained server.

Viewing Scheduled Programs

The Channel Guide page shows what's currently on, or what will be on up to 14 days in advance. Use the right or left arrows (or search using the Show Me filter) to search for programming in different time slots. If you click on a channel before or after a

scheduled program, you will play whatever is currently being broadcast—just like a regular TV. Click on the Info button to schedule a recording or display any custom program data entered by an administrator. This popup also has options that let you record an entire program in progress or schedule a future recording. You can also use manual "pushbutton" recording in the preview window. You can perform all of the following tasks from the Channel Guide:
