Abstract
A method is provided in a digital receiver interfacing with a point-of-deployment (POD) module and receiving a first data stream having a first predetermined pattern. The method for detecting failure of the POD module includes the steps of: receiving the first data stream; forwarding the first data stream to the POD module; receiving a second data stream having a second predetermined pattern from the POD module; monitoring validity of the first and second data streams; and if the first data stream is valid and the second data stream is invalid, providing a failure alert on the POD module.
