FORCED UPDATE OF META-PROGRAMMING DATA USING DIGITAL VIDEO BROADCAST SERVICE INFORMATION
Embodiments detect updates to digital video broadcast (DVB) service information (SI), and forcing off-schedule updates to local meta-programming data (MPD) of a customer premises appliance in response to the update, where appropriate. For example, embodiments detect an SI update for at least one DVB content service being provided via a DVB network and determine whether a stream update descriptor in the SI is asserted.
