The NetworkID property retrieves or assigns the network id of the tuning space.
Syntax
objDVBSTuningSpace.NetworkID As LongParameters
This property takes no parameters.
Error Codes
If the property fails, an error is raised and Err.Number is set to a value other than zero.
Return Value
This property returns the network id as a long integer.
Remarks
A Network ID is specific to DVB. It is a unique ID that specifies a particular broadcast provider (not a network type). Two broadcasters will have different network IDs even if they both provide DVB satellite broadcasts. Network IDs are allocated by the Joint Technical Committee (JTC) of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI). Applications that obtain tune requests from the Guide Store do not generally need to be concerned about this property. Guide Store loaders will probably need to use it. Applications that are specific to a broadcaster and don't use the Guide Store may use this ID to locate the tuning space for the particular broadcaster they are interested in.
