Send Instant Hits
Sometimes, when you stage a device, one of the following might occur:
The Entitlement Agent might not display.
The EMM count may not increment to the required number.
The Sub Expire date is not set correctly.
In these cases, you might need to send an instant hit to the device. This section
provides the procedures for sending instant hits to DHCTs and to CableCARD
modules.
