Test Two - Check Recently-Staged DHCTs
After you verify that your billing provider is enabling the DIS flag on billing
transactions to the DNCS, you need to run another test on a few recently staged
DHCTs to ensure that the DIS Enable flag is being received.
Important: Setting the DIS flag to enabled when loading SSC CableCARD set-top
Important: Setting the DIS flag to enabled when loading SSC CableCARD set-top
boxes will cause binding and staging problems. Instead, stage them without special
flags enabled, enable DIS after staging is complete, and send a Hit in order to obtain
Type 8 EMMs.
WARNING:
Do not enable DIS in billing on SSC CableCARD set-top boxes.
