Add the SDV Server to the Desired Service Group
Overview
A service group is a set of modulator channels (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation
[QAMs], multiple QAMs [MQAMs], or Gigabit QAMs [GQAMs]) that have been
combined to provide services to a unique set of DHCTs. In order to provide SDV
services, you must add a service group for each SDV server in your network.

To provide SDV services, GQAMs can only be added to a service group. Service
groups enable DHCTs to distinguish which GQAM is providing the SDV service.

and SDV, set the application support to Shared. If the carrier is supporting SDV
only, set the application support to SDV only.
