Toslink - A fiber optic cable standard.
Composite Video Connection - A method to interconnect video devices (such as a DTV set-top box and the analog television) by sending the signal over a single cable. This method is suitable only for analog NTSC signals
3:2 pull-down - This is the process of converting a 24 frames/sec image into a 30 frames/sec image. Some line-doublers will reverse this process to acquire the original, and then re-perform it.
LNB - (Low Noise Block converter) - An LNB can be found at the focus point of a dish antenna. It is a low noise amplifier that also converts the signal to a lower frequency. (The original higher frequency would not travel very far in ordinary coaxial cable.)
Upconverting - Process by which a standard definition picture is changed to a simulated high-definition picture.
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.
Set-top Converter Box - This unit sits on top of the viewer's analog TV, receives the Digital TV signal, converts it to an analog signal, and then sends that signal on to the analog TV.
