## How this guide is made

Channel names, dial positions and programme reels are read from Spelunkr TV's public broadcast data. The next four hours are computed in the browser from those reels; the video itself is streamed directly from the Internet Archive. The programme grid is rendered client-side and marked data-nosnippet, so dynamic programme titles are not used as SEO copy.
