I take this opportunity to wish you all a happy Christmas 2020 and a better new year 2021; from the beginning of this year until the end we have worked constantly, despite the many problems it has inflicted on us this year. It wasn’t easy. We have lost people. Despite all these problems, but with many successes on our shoulders, we have arrived at the moment of the year when we have to leave everything behind to try to find a better future: the end of the year; not only do we have the opportunity to leave behind a few things we didn’t like, but we’ve also worked hard to bring changes that allow us to introduce new features; one of these, for example, is the new maps feature, which we added today to the search engine, which will be one of the most updated features in the coming months; already allows you to convert any place written in any language into geographic coordinates to be injected in the graphical maps of the world (reverse geocoding thanks to Nominatim). Not only. We have linked real images from satellites (LANDSAT8 imagery) and planning to do more in the upcoming updates of this feature. All these new features have led us to also update the Terms of Services and the Privacy Policy of MYETV.

Let’s recap all new subdomains of our creation updated or created in this time:

I hope all these updates will improve the way you all use the platform. This document will be updated day by day every time we add something new during this event. We still wish you the best for these holidays. See you next year, folks!!!

Please note: the official pages of myetv at FACEBOOK and/or TWITTER will keep informed followers when we will add more features and updates to this list.
