• Internet servers do not support ETV scheduling features.
ETV Set Top Box
EtherneTV-STBs access the ETV Portal Server through a web browser within the Set Top
Box. Using the Set-Top Box remote control, users can navigate and search for specific on-
demand content or live video streams, select a stream, and begin viewing television-quality
video. Set-Top Box users can also record video directly on the ETV Portal Server using the
remote control or the wireless keyboard. See the Set Top Box documentation for more about
how to configure and use an ETV Set Top Box.
ETV Network Video Recorder
The ETV Network Video Recorder and the ETV Live Portal Server are optional components
that are purchased and installed separately. They have different license files that must be
installed separately. See License Files
on page 14. The ETV Network Video Recorder lets you
off-load all recording tasks from the ETV Portal Server machine to one or more separate
"recorder server" machines. This optimizes recording performance and improves ETV Portal
Server performance as well. The Network Video Recorder uses ETV Portal Server
components and typically requires two machines: the ETV Portal Server is installed on one
machine; the Network Video Recorder software is installed on a different machine. Once
installed, the NVR machine is used for all ETV Portal Server recording tasks. See Network
Video Recording on page 99 for more information.
ETV Live Portal Server
The ETV Live Portal Server provides ETV functionality that is limited to scheduling and
viewing live streams. It does not integrate with a VOD server and there is no functionality
for browsing a video library. Note the limited options on the navigation footer.
Note A standard ETV Portal Server permits two concurrent recording operations. If you
purchase a Network Video Recorder, the number of concurrent recording operations
(10 or 40) is fixed by the terms of your licensing agreement with VBrick.
