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
