Do we have to request that items from Free to Air TV be recorded?
- ETV records all main nightly News and Current Affairs from TVOne, TV3, Prime and Maori.
- ETV records also everything on the Screenrights Weekly TV Guide.
- ETV also records all documentaries of obvious, educational value from the SKY Channels.
- The recording technology holds a 24/7 continuous capture of all the Free To Air channels. You can request for a programme to be permanently added to ETV for up to 2 weeks post broadcast.
- For requests for SKY and International programmes, an advance request of at least one-working-day is needed.
- When Unitec Library requests ETV record a programme, ETV proceeds to record all programmes in that series without further request.
What is the quality of ETV programmes?
Generally, ETV will detect your broadband speed and adjust the picture quality accordingly. The best quality setting is used when your connection speed is 720 kbps or higher – this setting is not quite HD quality, but close.
Programmes that were added to ETV prior to 2011 are of a lesser quality than ones added after this date.

Can I load YouTube clips to ETV?
Please use use Request Recordings for both the TV channels that ETV capture and any online video content that is publicly viewable (i.e. no VPN/ Paywall) and as long as the content is uploaded by the copyright holder or licencee. This can be checked under “about” for YouTube channels. ETV will then be able to upload this clip.

You can make any age restricted videos available to students who are old enough to view them – i.e aged 16 for R16 and 18 for R18 content – by adding the video to EVA and sharing the direct link or embedding the html-code on your LMS.
