Channels

Channel Guide
VBrick has partnered with a leading content provider, to provide news, information, and
entertainment programming for 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 all "network" listings, such as ABC, CBS,
NBC, CNN, "National Geographic Channel, etc. The listing comes from a VBrick-
maintained server. This page is used to define the location and update parameters for the
Channel Guide Server. This server is typically a VBrick Apache machine that can be used to
connect to a third-party content provider. In this type of scenario, the third-party provider
provides programming data that is shown on the user interface in the Channel Guide. This
functionality requires a Channel Server license. If this license is not installed, the options for
server Location and Security (password) are not shown on the Channel Guide page.
Changing the Time Zone
The times for Channel Guide listings on the Portal Server are in UCT (Universal Coordinated
Time). The program times are calculated by the Portal Server software using the time zone
setting in Windows. For example, if a program is listed as beginning at 1800 hours UCT, and
your time zone is U.S. Eastern, the "offset" from UCT is -5 and the program will be listed at
1300 hours. If your time zone is U.S. Pacific, the "offset" is -8 and the program will be listed
at 1000 hours. To get accurate program listings, your local time zone must be properly
configured in Windows. The Portal Server computer is shipped with U.S. Eastern time and
