S-video - Also called Y/C, this two-wire standard keeps the color separate from the intensity signal, and thus avoids the overlapping sideband problem of composite signals. (Converting an NTSC signal to S-video gains you nothing since what was lost cannot be recreated.) - Although the quality of S-video is close to component video, S-video cannot transport anything better than 480i.
Dolby Digital 2.0 - This is a two channel (stereo or Pro Logic) version of Dolby Digital. It is often used by DBS systems.
SDTV - (standard definition TV) - SDTV is 480i, which is approximately the resolution of NTSC and DVDs.
FTA - (Free To All MPEG-2 broadcasts) - The two most common digital schemes found on C-band and Ku band are 4DTV and FTA. FTA receivers are available to consumers, but there is effectively no regular HD programming.
CEMA - Consumer Electronics Manufacturers Association. A U.S. industry group representing manufacturers of consumer electronics products
VGA - a 5-wire standard interface, originally for computer monitors, now common for HDTV monitors. Usually the 5 wires are in one cable. The connector can be either a 15-pin connector or five BNC connectors. The signals are usually red, green, blue, horizontal sync, and vertical sync. But Y, Pr, and Pb can replace the colors.
Dot Pitch - The distance between pixels (picture elements) in a display. In a CRT for HDTV, the dot pitch is typically 0.25 - 0.3 mm. For full resolution HDTV display approximately 1400 pixels are required across the screen.
