Tribune Media Services
Tribune Media Services (TMS; http://tms.tribune.com/products/k-epgs.html) sells subscriptions to EPG
data in several proprietary data formats that it controls. CiscoDMS supports only one of these data
formats. Specifically:
•
The name of the supported product is TV Schedules, United States.
•
The scope of the supported product is Fourteen (14) rolling days.
•
Subscriptions that use this format are available only within the United States.
Other EPG subscription products from TMS use data formats that we do not support. If you are already
a TMS customer, check whether your preexisting subscription contract already authorizes you to obtain
and use EPG data in the supported format.
Note • To learn more about the supported TMS data format or to negotiate the commercial contract for a subscription,
contact Amy Mann, the director of new media sales at Tribune Media Services. Her toll-free telephone number is
800 833-9581, ext. 2333, and her email address is aamann@tribune.com. To ensure that your contract includes sufficient
permissions, be sure to say that you intend to use TMS data for Cisco Cast.
•It might be necessary to adjust security settings in your network so that you can receive EPG data from TMS. The ftp server
on your DMM appliance must be able to reach the TMS ftp server.
•Data from TMS is proprietary, copyrighted, and licensed. Although TMS compiles this licensed data in good faith, neither Cisco
nor TMS makes any express or implied warranties regarding the data or its merchantability or fitness for any purpose.
