Digital Audio and Video Services List

Leeds Metropolitan University is licensed by the Educational Recording Agency (ERA) to record broadcast programmes for educational use.

• Recordings from channels BBC1, BBC2, ITV, CH4, CH5 and BBC4 can be scheduled on Leeds Met Media Player up to 28 days after the original broadcast. Programmes from these channels can also be scheduled in advance.
• We also now record BBC NEWS, BBC Radio 3 and BBC Radio 4. Recordings from these channels can be scheduled via Leeds Met Media Player up to 14 days after the original broadcast. Programmes from these channels can also be scheduled in advance. 
• It is possible to obtain programmes from many other Freeview channels, however all of these programmes must be scheduled in advance. 
• All scheduled programmes are subject to approval before being added to Leeds Met Media Player. 
• Programmes can be easily shared on X-Stream. 
• We are not able to obtain programmes from satellite subscription channels.
• Freeview recordings are only available for playback on campus.

Programmes are now all scheduled via Leeds Met Media Player, an exciting new piece of software, which gracefully merges a SKY+ or Tivo style Electronic Programme Guide with a viewing experience similar to BBC iPlayer.

As a member of staff you are able to access Leeds Met Media Player's "Freeview Scheduler" and schedule programmes to be added to the Media Player yourself. It is easy and there are no charges when a physical copy is not requested.
