chassis – This tells the guide which chassis the QAM24 is in so that it knows the QAM24‟s IP
address for sending PSIP guide data. If not using PSIP this field can be set to -1.
port – This tells the guide which QAM24 UDP port is being used for sending PSIP guide data.
If not using PSIP this field can be set to -1.
Examples:
10 501-65535-hd ➔ TV channel 10 carries HBOHD (from COM1000)
23 209-65535-hd ➔ TV channel 23 carries ESPN2HD (from COM1000)
45 202-65535-sd ➔ TV channel 45 carries CNN (from SMATV or COM1000)
37 8-65535-hd ➔ TV channel 37 carries local channel 8 (from OTA, SMATV, or COM1000)
10-1 NLocal_Program_Info 1 71 ➔ Non-DIRECTV channel (channel name Local)
Note: The actual content could come from the COM1000, a separate analog SMATV system, or
even from on-air, as long as the channel is available in DIRECTV‟s lineup.
The first time you access the EPG page, it will be blank, as shown in Figure 45 above. Note
that, as mentioned previously, this page applies to the card that you are currently logged in to,
and that an EPG can only exist on one card. If you have previously completed an EPG
configuration and instead see a blank page like the one shown above, you are probably logged in
to the wrong COM24 card. After a successful configuration, the screen should look similar to
the one shown below in Figure 46.
