2 OVERVIEW
CableCARD™
The DCH6416 receivers are separable security products that use a removable
security mechanism known as a CableCARD
receiver to decrypt digital video services available on the cable plant from your digital
cable provider. If the CableCARD is not properly inserted into the DCH receiver's
rear panel M-Card slot, you will not be able to view cable television programs,
previously recorded programs on the DVR, or interactive on-demand programs.
Important: Under no circumstance should the CableCARD be removed from
the DCH6416 receiver.
Alert Screens
In certain scenarios, the DCH receiver will generate an on-screen alert banner if an
issue is detected with the CableCARD. These scenarios include:
•
Removal of the CableCARD
•
Insertion of an unsupported CableCARD
•
Invalid security certificate provided by the CableCARD
•
Invalid pairing between the CableCARD and the DCH receiver
Important: Please contact your cable operator immediately if any of these
scenarios occur. If the CableCARD has been removed, there is no need to
contact your cable operator. Simply re-insert the card.
CableCARD Removal
In the event that the CableCARD is removed from the DCH receiver, all access to
live, recorded, and on-demand television programming will be terminated. The
DCH6416 will be unable to provide access to television programming until the
CableCARD is re-inserted into the DCH receiver. While the CableCARD is removed
from the DCH receiver, the following on-screen alert banner will be shown:

programming until a supported CableCARD is re-inserted. When an unsupported
CableCARD is inserted into the DCH receiver, the following on-screen alert banner
