Major Improvements to SR 2.5/3.5/4.0 SP3
In addition to the DST Rules feature, SR 2.5/3.5/4.0 SP3 features an operational
improvement mandated by the Federal Communication Commission. After July
2007, no set-top boxes can be deployed that use embedded security. In response to
this mandate, Cisco has begun producing and distributing DHCTs that require
CableCARD modules for all conditional access activities. Cisco has modified the
DNCS to support a method of binding the CableCARD module to the associated
host set-top without user interaction or two-way staging.
