CableCARD and Digital Cable Ready TVs
CableCARD and Digital Cable Ready TVs are the products of a new digital cable
standard. This new standard is called OpenCable and it is a concerted effort to
standardize the digital cable service network interface in North America. For more
information, please refer to www.cablelabs.com.
Digital Cable Ready TVs are equipped with a proper digital cable tuner to receive digital
cable signals from your local cable service provider. They are also designed to work with
digital cable card modules (PCMCIA card modules called CableCARDs). These PCMCIA
card modules or CableCARDs will be provided by your local cable service provider after
a proper subscription process.
The provided CableCARD from your local cable service provider needs to be inserted
into the CableCARD slot of a Digital Cable Ready TV. Please refer to page 24 for how to
insert the CableCARD.
A digital set-top box which used to be provided by the cable service provider is no
longer needed with Digital Cable Ready TVs and CableCARDs.
When CableCARD is inserted into the slot, the TV screen will show the message that
CableCARD is inserted and tries to download necessary data such as channel
information or subscription information from your digital cable service provider. When
you insert CableCARD for the first time, this process could take few minutes depending
on the amount of data your cable provider needs to send. During this process the digital
cable service provider or CableCARD may display messages on the TV screen to help or
give you further information.
Please contact your local cable provider for more information on service availability and
how to acquire a CableCARD.
