ETV

What is eTV?
eTV is a free service for VUW staff that allows you to play recordings of domestic and international channels. You can also request shows be recorded for you.

Who uses eTV?
eTV is used by teachers in Universities, Polytechnics, Wananga, Schools and Colleges in NZ.

Why should I use eTV?
eTV is an easy way to access a catalogue of recorded, downloadable TV shows for free. It is useful if you want to show a clip from a TV show or current events show that you saw. Or if you want to request a show you know will be screened so you can use it in class.

How do I use eTV?
You can search by show, or by channel and have the option to download videos if you want to use third party software to make clips to show in class (or show a snippet of the full video in class). You can also stream videos direct from eTV. You can embed links to the eTV file within your Blackboard course so students can view the live stream, please remember to add the meta data.

Members of the service may also make a request for shows to be recorded for them and made available on eTV.
