p - The program to check.

Returns:

True if the program runs.

getProgramComparator

public static java.util.Comparator<Program> getProgramComparator()

comparator to sort programs by date, time and position in channel list

Returns:

The comparator for programs.

isNotInTimeRange

public static boolean isNotInTimeRange(int timeFrom,
                                       int timeTo,
                                       Program p)

A helper method to get if a program is not in a time range.

Parameters:

timeFrom - The beginning of the time range to check

timeTo - The ending of the time range

p - The program to check

Returns:

If the program is not in the given time range.
