Frequency_Index

- This field reports the frequency index corresponding to the channel the

tuner is currently set to. Frequency_Index is a 0 base value. Transponder #s on meters and IRD
are 1 base. To determine the channel’s transponder add 1 to the Frequency Index.

o

The table below in Figure 25 details the Network_ID and corresponding satellite.

In the above example we are looking at CNN HD.



Authorized

- This field provides feedback on whether the card has been authorized within

the  DIRECTV network.  The card needs to be paired and authorized in order to receive
DIRECTV  programming.  A  value  of  ‘1’  means  that  the  card  has  been  successfully
authorized;  ‘0’  means  that it has not yet been authorized, or has lost its authorization.



Paired

- This field provides feedback on whether the smart card has been successfully

paired  with the COM46 card. The card needs to be paired and authorized in order to receive
DIRECTV  programming. A value of ‘1’ means that the card has been successfully paired; ‘0’
means that it  has not yet been paired, or has lost its pairing.



Blackout

- This field can be used to determine whether DIRECTV has issued a blackout of

the  content on a particular channel.  This is a good thing to investigate if the video suddenly
stops  playing on any channel, but it is particularly likely to happen with nationally televised
sporting  events. A value of ‘0’ means that the channel should be functioning properly; ‘1’
means that the  programming  on  the  selected  channel  is  not  currently  available  to you.
TVs  will  display  a  blackout message on screen in the event of a blackout.



SW_Version

- This field reports the software version that currently resides in the COM46

card. All cards that have a similar web interface to the one described in this document
will have a version number of at least ST03.02.21.
