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.
