| Platform SDK: Broadcast Architecture |
Broadcast Architecture currently provides a loader that adds Gemstar G-Guide programming data to the Guide database. This loader loads information from a data file that can be downloaded from the World Wide Web or received over the vertical blanking interval (VBI) of a television broadcast. Microsoft® WebTV® for Windows includes components that automatically download the Gemstar G-Guide file, then run the loader to get the information into the Program Guide.
For this loader, a data location may be stored in an entry under the loader's registry key. This data location is the name and path of the file to use for input, for example C:\ProgramFiles\Program GuideData\Ssdata.bin. For more information on loader registry keys, see Loaders Subkey.
