If you plan to apply for uploader privileges, please read the following rules carefully first. Uploaders who break these rules will have their upload rights removed.
If you aim to become a regular capper, we strongly recommend you also read the Uploaders FAQ for more detailed information about uploading, use of the Schedule , and links to various guides for uploaders.
1. Only material that has been produced for British television and/or radio and has been broadcast on British television and/or radio is permitted on UKNova.
2. Nothing that is available commercially (on DVD, VHS or any other media) or due for imminent commercial release is allowed on UKNova.
3. All uploads must include a proper description of their content, including technical details of the file. Technical details can easily be generated using the freeware GSpot, following this guide .
4. Uploaded shows must be kept seeding until enough downloaders have the whole file for distribution to continue among the swarm.
5. If uploading re-seeds or re-packs, please try to specify the original uploader's distribution permissions.
1. Any programme that to all intents and purposes has primarily musical content is disallowed. This includes, for example, TOTP, chart shows etc.
2. Any programme that is basically a one-to-one broadcast of a live or pre-recorded concert performance is disallowed. This includes such things as Glastonbury, one-off gigs by specific bands etc.
3. Any radio show uploaded in audio format must have the songs played on the show edited out. Short "music clips" are OK. This applies both to normal radio broadcasts and any sections from UKNR shows that are uploaded.
4. The following types of shows are allowed:
* Chat shows that include one-off musical performances as part of the overall show (eg Parkinson, Friday Night With Jonathan Ross etc.)
* Music-based "talent"-style shows (eg X-Factor, Fame Academy, How To Solve A Problem Like Maria etc.)
* Shows that include short audio/video clips (eg I Love The 80s etc.)
If you have any doubt about whether a potential upload fits in with the rules or not, then please contact a member of staff before uploading. The same applies if you wish to upload a show that you think may qualify for an exception to the above rules, due to historical value or whatever.
In either of the above cases, the Staff's decision is final. Any shows uploaded that are in breach of the above rules and have not been approved by a Staff member beforehand will be deleted without notification. Repeat offenders will have their upload rights removed.
Finally, please familiarise yourself with the Site FAQ before asking any questions!
Please help us to keep UKNova going by adhering to these rules, which are in the overall interests of the site.
Thank you.
