ABSTRACT:
A method, system, and computer program product for adapting a navigation device to5operate with a plurality of different point of deployment (POD) modules that provide conditional access to video programming. A POD type for a POD module that is interfaced with the multichannel video receiver is first determined, and interface parameters for the POD type are subsequently determined. The multichannel video receiver is then adapted to provide the interface parameters to the POD module interfaced with the multichannel video10receiver. The POD type may be determined automatically by the multichannel video receiver, or by prompting a user of the multichannel video receiver to determine and input the POD type for the POD module inteffaced with the multichannel video receiver. The POD type may be achieved by automatically receiving a type message from the POD module video receiver, and displaying an on-screen message on video monitor.
