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 22 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.
