What is CableCARD, and how
does it work?
HP HDTVs with CableCARD (certain countries/regions
only) slots can accept a small card from your cable
company that allows you to receive standard-definition
and high-definition digital broadcasts without the need
for a set-top box. When a CableCARD is inserted into
the television, it enables delivery of digital video
programming and other services. CableCARDs are
provided directly by the cable operator to customers
who request them. CableCARD functionality includes
copy protection and signal demodulation.
