Source of DoD Guide updates?

Once the initial DoD download is completed, is the DoD guide updated via satellite or does it have to be connected to the internet to update?

Via the Sat's but the internet needs to remain active.

So, it won't work if I want to just connect to the internet whenever I want to download something to watch?

As far as I know the guide data does come down from the sats but you do need to remain connected to the internet for the DOD system to remain active and for you to receive the constant guide updating.
