How Does A Set Top Box Work?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    A set-top box performed the function of converting data that it received into a format that was viewable on the television screen. It performed this task by converting the analog cable TV channels into video that was viewable on a television set. The modern day set top boxes allow digital cable channels to be received and help to descramble premium cable channels.

    The set top box is an ambiguous term that refers to several different generations of such devices. They include Broadcast TV Set top boxes which were a kind of primitive version of set top boxes, Enhanced TV set top boxes which mostly used phone lines for receiving signals, Advanced Set top boxes which contained processors, memory, hard drives and software installed, sidecar, and finally Hybrid digital cable boxes.
