Support for Enhanced Channel Maps on the DNCS
Cisco customers have requested greater flexibility in assigning channel maps. In
earlier system releases, service providers could only assign channel maps to a set-top
based on the hub where the set-top was deployed. At that time, all of the set-tops
deployed in any hub shared the same channel map.

A Group Definitions button has been added to the Applications Interface Modules
tab, and a lineup group ID (LUG ID) field has been added to the Set Up Display
