ISDP 2.6 Upgrade Limitations 

Upgrading to ISDP client code version 2.6.9 offers many exciting enhancements.  

For example, DVR customers can now record two programs at once while 

watching a previously recorded program as well as benefiting from numerous 

other improvements to the way recordings are scheduled and managed. This 

release also provides support for Impulse Pay Per View (IPPV), offering you an 

added source of revenue. In addition to these subscriber-facing enhancements, 

improvements for the way set-tops handle encrypted services and content were 

implemented. 

 

This technical bulletin alerts you to two issues you are likely to encounter while 

testing the ability to roll back the ISDP client software to a previous release. If you 

roll back to a previous release, you will encounter issues with encrypted service 

authorization and loss of DVR recordings. These operational issues are normal 

and result from the security enhancements that are included with ISDP 2.6. Before 

you upgrade your live systems with ISDP 2.6 software, be sure to thoroughly test 

your system so that there is no need to roll back to a previous release. 

 
 

This technical bulletin is written for system operators, sales and program 

managers, and field technicians.
