OK, without giving out any secrets.
The code itself is playing out repeatedly from two pieces of kit (main and redundant) at Langley, both the CR2 and CR3 codes are played continously. On the morning your region gets the code, some changes are made in the configuration of your local equipment so that it stops passing CR2 and instead passes CR3 for one or more (there are 5) box types.
Then changes are made which signal to the boxes that new code is available. Your box tunes to the stream containing the code and downloads it.
Thats as deep as I'm going into it, hope this is what you wanted.
