Three Options Supported by cronCVT
As the Help window shows, the cronCVT utility supports three options: -c, -r, and -z.
These options are used to place the CableCARD module or DHCT into specific
download groups. The utility links a package with a download group so when that
package is assigned to a CableCARD module (through the DNCS or through the
billing system), the CableCARD module or DHCT host is placed into the download
group.
