Download warning - Amb-OS

Amb-OS program transmission times listed in the “Amb-OS Program Listing” table in the “Appendix” are
the queue times of the program. Program transmission times can be delayed from the queue times based on
the number programs scheduled for transfer. Additionally the “Amb-OS Program Listing” table also lists the
number of days in advance of the air date the Amb-OS system sends the program.
Time Parameters
Time should be entered as HH:MM in 24 hour format without the seconds. Use 03:00 for 3:00 AM and
15:00 for 3:00 PM. Times range from 00:00 (the morning of the current day) to 23:59 (one minute before
midnight). Entering 11:00 would transfer the file at 11 AM local PC time.
Time must be entered with only the hour and minutes. Entering
seconds with the time will create and error.
WARNING
Entering the seconds (11:15:20) results in an
error.
Programs arriving less than 24 hours after the scheduled transfer time will be automatically transferred after
the AMR-100 has successfully received the program. Programs arriving more than 24 hours after the
scheduled transfer time will have to be transferred manually.
Day Offset Parameters
The day offset is the number of days before (-1, -2) or after (+1 or 1, +2) the air date of the program to
transfer. Without a day offset specified, the “After 12P (noon) Rule” applies to the transfer. Times before
12:00 PM (noon) transfers the program on its air date. Schedules on or after 12:00 PM (noon) transfers the
next day’s program assuming the program was successfully received.
The day offset must be entered with a transfer time. “11:00 -1” would transfer the file at 11:00 AM local PC
time one day before the air date.
WARNING
The day offset parameter must be entered with a transfer time.
Day offset description for transfers
Day offset description
-2 = two days before the air date of the program
-1 = the day before the air date of the program (prefeed)
0 = current day
1 or +1 = the day after the air date of the program
2 or +2 = 2 days after the air date of the program
WARNING
The day offset parameter should not be greater than the number of days in
advance a program is sent from the Amb-OS satellite system to avoid
missing a scheduled transfer by more than 24 hours.
