DigiGuide External User Channels

What is it for?

This is a new facility in DigiGuide v5 that allows anyone to produce channel listings for DigiGuide v5 or later.

From a broadcaster's point of view it is no more difficult than putting up a web page, from a user's point of view it's as simple as clicking a link and then selecting the new channel(s) within DigiGuide.

I'm a broadcaster, what do I do?

You can supply us with a channel information file that we will pull off your web site each morning and import into our database. This means that with no cost, and very little effort on your part, your channel is listed on all DigiGuide products and web sites and will be seen by hundreds of thousands of users.

If you decide you want to be officially listed, then your channel will get the same 'doorway' as the larger broadcasters and at the same time be seen by thousands of multi-channel subscribers. This means more potential viewers for your programmes simply because of the advanced searching capabilities of DigiGuide.

Full instructions are on our DigiGuide Channels for Broadcasters page.

Lastly

If you want to promote your new channel we will gladly provide links to your pages and even actively promote it. Talk to us about it, I'm sure there is something we could do.
