Verify the PSIP and SI_REGENERATION_TIME Variables
The following procedure checks the PSIP_INSERT_RATE and
SI_REGENERATION_TIME variables for their recommended values. A brief
explanation of why you are checking these variables follows.
SI_REGENERATION_TIME variables for their recommended values. A brief
explanation of why you are checking these variables follows.
PSIP_INSERT_RATE
If the site you are upgrading does not use the DNCS for PSIP and inband EAS
messages that are targeted to hosts, such as QAM tuner TVs, you can disable
delivery of these messages from the DNCS by setting the PSIP_INSERT_RATE
variable to 0 in the .profile file. If you are not using the DNCS to provide these
messages, you should make provisions to provide these signals by other PSIP
aggregation/EAS equipment in your system.
