Over The Air Broadcast
The StarFire license is broadcast at the scheduled
time and 5 minutes later as a backup.
To ensure reception, turn on the receiver
before the specified broadcast time. Do not
turn off the receiver until verifying that the
license is saved.
The receiver must be tracking StarFire
satellites at the broadcast times, though the
receiver is not required to be operating in
StarFire mode during the broadcasts.

verify that the license is saved:
