Seamless and automatic transmission of provisioning data

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing one or more sequences of one or more instructions for execution by one or more processors of a headend server that cause the headend server to perform operations, comprising:

• generating an in-band messaging bus service (IMB message);
• broadcasting the IMB message to a plurality of subscriber devices over a first frequency;
• and
• transmitting operating data via a second frequency to a target subscriber device of the plurality of subscriber devices, wherein the first and second frequencies are different, wherein the second frequency is based at least on the IMB message, and
• wherein the plurality of subscriber devices comprises a plurality of digital television adapters/customer premise equipment (DTAs/CPE) and a plurality of set-top-boxes, transmitting the operating data at a faster transmission rate than when the plurality of subscriber devices includes only DTAs/CPE, wherein a DTA/CPE of the plurality of DTAs/CPE is configured to receive one-way communications.

A headend server comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to:
• generate an in-band messaging bus service (IMB message);
• broadcast via a transmitter, the IMB message to a plurality of subscriber devices over a first frequency;
• and
• transmit operating data via a second frequency to a target subscriber device of the plurality of subscriber devices, wherein the first and second frequencies are different, wherein the second frequency is based at least on the IMB message, and
• wherein the plurality of subscriber devices comprises a plurality of digital television adapters/customer premise equipment (DTAs/CPE) and a plurality of set-top-boxes, that transmit the operating data at a faster transmission rate than when the plurality of subscriber devices includes only DTAs/CPE, wherein a DTA/CPE of the plurality of DTAs/CPE is configured to receive one-way communications.
