When using cable without installing an antenna

If you are a cable TV subscriber, you can receive the signals without installing a new antenna. The necessary equipment differs depending on the cable TV format.

There are two cable TV formats:

Pass-through type
With the "pass-through" format, signals are transmitted directly to the TV.
You can receive terrestrial digital TV broadcasts if you have a DTV ready TV, or if you connect your current analog TV to a terrestrial digital tuner or a recording device with a built-in terrestrial digital tuner.
Pass-through type
Trans-modulation type
With the "Trans-modulation" system, signals are converted into an appropriate format for cable TV reception.
You need a cable TV STB (Set Top Box) to use this system.
Trans-modulation type
