Hub Specific OOB SI DST
Out-of-band system information (SI) now carries a Daylight Saving Time (DST)
descriptor for cable hosts with a CableCARD module
descriptor for cable hosts with a CableCARD module
In earlier system releases, every DHCT received the default hub DST rule regardless
of the hub to which they were associated. Beginning with SR 4.3, you can define
specific DST rules for each hub that distributes DST rules out-of-band. Every
CableCARD Host that receives DST rules out-of-band will be able to receive a
specific DST rule that is tailored for its hub.

Important: This feature does not affect DST rules that are distributed by Program
and System Information Protocol (PSIP). It also does not affect legacy DHCTs that
do not include CableCARD modules. In these situations, DHCTs will continue to
receive the DST rule for the default hub.

The SCTE 65 requirements mandate support for DST descriptors for out-of-band
(OOB) system information (SI). The DNCS implements support for hosts with
CableCARD modules by populating the OOB SI daylight saving time (DST)
descriptor based on the hub DST zone.

To define a specific DST rule for a hub, you must create a DST rule to define the start
and end dates for DST and assign the DST rule to a hub, just as in earlier system
releases. You should also check the Hub Summary window and confirm that the
correct settings are selected for the Timezone and DST Zone ID fields.
