Using passthru PID routes allows the data to flow through the QAM on carriers that
contain DTA-related content. When you provision passthru PID routes for BSG-
associated QAM carriers with active content, the DTACS sets up additional PID
routes (AMM, SI/CVT with user-defined PID route sources) on those QAM carriers.

In order to set up a passthru PID route, you must first create the PID route source
and then add a PID to that route.
