Interactive Television - This is when TV programming features interactive content and enhancements, blending traditional TV viewing with the interactivity of a personal computer.
Interlaced scan - Historically, TV CRTs are interlaced, while computer CRTs are not. Interlaced means that the electron beam skips every other horizontal line, filling in the missing lines on the next pass. A frame is composed of 2 fields. One field is all of the odd numbered lines, and the other field is all of the even numbered lines.
PAL - (Phase Altering Line standard) - This alternative to NTSC has 625 lines, interlaced, 50 fields per second. It is used in most of Europe, Asia (except USSR), Africa, and Australia, and parts of South America.
Capture - Acquiring information, such as an image, with a scanner or digital camera device.
Compression - Compression refers to the reduction of the size of digital data files by removing redundant and/or non-critical information ("data" being the elements of video, audio and other "information"). Digital TV in the U.S. would not be possible without compression.
If you want the simplicity that comes with the cable receiver being integrated with the TV then you should buy a TV with a cable card slot. However if you like TiVo then you would instead get a DVR, which will have its own cable card slot.
Stereo/SAP Reception with dbx Noise Reduction - This feature has a built-in stereo decoder that can receive both TV stereo and separate audio program (SAP) telecasts where available. A dbx noise reduction system helps provide clear, crisp sound with proper stereo separation.
