About This Guide 
Purpose 
Switched digital video (SDV) is a technology that allows cable operators to recover 
bandwidth from infrequently-viewed channels by making these channels 
"on-demand." Instead of sending all channels to the set-top boxes, lightly viewed 
channels are put into a switching pool and only sent to the set-top boxes when 
viewers tune to them. 
This guide provides procedures to help you keep your SDV system running as 
expected. This guide explains various tools that you can use to monitor and 
troubleshoot SDV systems.
