| Set-top box - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (456 words) |
| A box connected to a television (or VCR) set's SCART connector is fed with the baseband television signal from the set's tuner, and can ask the television to display the returned processed signal instead. |
| Before cable-ready TV sets, a set-top box known as a cable converter box was used to receive analog cable TV channels and convert them to video that could be seen on a regular TV (channel 3 or 4 in North America, or channel 36 or 37 in the United Kingdom). |
| In the United Kingdom, digital set-top boxes (often referred to as digiboxes, after Sky Digital's trademark for their unit) are usually for digital terrestrial television through services such as Freeview, a service operated by the Freeview Consortium, or through digital satellite with BSkyB and also with digital cable. |
