Select Channels to Block by Default 
Introduction 
The Blocked Channel Number option allows the cable service provider to specify 
which channels are blocked during the staging process. When the set-top is 
delivered to the home, these particular channels are automatically blocked. This 
option is helpful if the cable service provider wants to automatically block channels 
that offer adult content. The Blocked Channel Numbers option only appears in the 
Staging Defaults window.  
The Addressable Configuration window contains a similar option called “Additional 
Blocked Channel Numbers.” On that window, this field lets you specify additional 
channels that should be blocked on the set-top. It does not clear any blocked 
channels that the subscriber has already set.  
Recommended Setting 
Select the Channel Number(s) option and enter the channels that you want to block 
during the staging process. Type in the channel number with a comma between each 
number, or you can type in a range of numbers, such as 1-4. 
Selecting Channels to Block by Default 
To select the channels that you want to block by default for the set-top, complete the 
following steps. 
1. 
On the DNCS Administrative Console, select the Server Applications tab. 
2. 
Click DHCT Config
Result:  The DHCT Configure Prompt window opens.
