Confirming Video Output 
The DSAN configures its video channel lineup in one of two ways, depending on the 
contents of its cache. 
 
If the DSAN cache does not contain valid configuration data, the DSAN starts 
building a channel lineup following successful eCM and Host registration based 
on the downloaded configuration and headend SI data. 
 
If the DSAN cache already contains valid configuration data, the DSAN 
immediately builds the channel lineup following system initialization using the 
cached configuration, without waiting on completion of eCM and Host 
registration. Following eCM and Host registration, the DSAN re-examines the 
headend SI data, and if there is any change in configuration, rebuilds the channel 
lineup. 
You can confirm the channel remap state on CLI diag page 1.0, as shown in the 
following example. 
 
Wideband Tuner Setup 
After preparing the channel lineup, the DSAN assigns each of the three wideband 
tuners to a designated QAM center frequency and commands each tuner to lock to 
that frequency and begin processing the RF input. 
Each wideband tuner handles a continuous 48 MHz bandwidth. A properly 
configured channel lineup will fit within the combined bandwidth of the three 
tuners.
