Systems and methods for transmitting conditional access information

Various multiple methods of data transport, and combinations thereof, may be used to initialize or update conditional access information on various devices. In an integrated device having both a broadcast receiver, such as an SDARS receiver, and a two-way communications transceiver, such as an LTE, 3G, 4G or 5G modem, or the like, conditional access information for the broadcast receiver may be sent to the transceiver, and then passed to the broadcast receiver, or vice versa. Additionally, for example, the broadcast receiver may be sent, over the broadcast communications channel, a "wake-up" message for the two-way transceiver, which message may then be passed to the two-way transceiver, so as to make it ready to receive conditional access information over the two-way communications channel, or vice versa. Moreover, because of the presence of a two-way communications path, various acknowledgements of conditional access status updates received and processed by the broadcast receiver may be sent-thus realizing a significant improvement over the current practice of sending multiple periodic messages over the broadcast channel, to insure (but never have confirmation of) receipt.
