EPG - Electronic program guide. An on-screen display of channels and program data.
ATSC - An acronym for advanced television systems committee, and the name of the DTV system used by broadcasters in the U.S.
If you want the simplicity that comes with the cable receiver being integrated with the TV then you should buy a TV with a cable card slot. However if you like TiVo then you would instead get a DVR, which will have its own cable card slot.
CRT - An analog vacuum tube technology that has been the mainstay of conventional TV displays for many years, writing the picture on a phosphor coated screen with an electron beam. It can produce bright pictures of excellent resolution but the size and weight of a unit suitable for the large, wide-screen displays needed for HDTV may be, for some, a disadvantage.
Simulcast - The broadcast of the same program simultaneously over two or more different systems or channels, such as in HDTV and in NTSC. CRTC regulations require today that broadcasters simulcast much of their schedules.
MMDS - Multichannel, Multipoint Distribution System. A wireless cable system capable of being encoded for pay-per-view and subscriber services.
Interoperability - This refers to the ability of a system or a product to work with other systems or products without special effort on the part of the customer. For example, interoperability would be required for a digital television set to be plugged into a VCR that is plugged into cable with all the components working together.
