CableCARD
– A specialized version of a
PCMCIA card designed spec
ifi
cally to decode
scrambled digital cable signals. TiVo DVRs
use a multi-stream CableCARD (M-Card)
which is inserted into a slot in the back of the
DVR. CableCARDS must be activated by a
cable provider.
Digital Tuning Adapter (DTA)
– A tuning
adapter is a small set-top box that gives your
CableCARD-equipped TiVo box the ability to
request switched digital video (SDV) channels.
Like CableCARDs, tuning adapters are part
of the digital cable system, so they must be
issued by the cable provider. Tuning adapters
are installed in the cable line between the
TiVo box and the cable wall outlet. An additional
USB connection is used by the TiVo box to
send channel tuning requests to the tuning
adapter, which transmits the requests back
to the cable system.
Media Access Key (MAK)

passcode assigned to any content associated
with the TiVo account. All devices on the
same account share the same MAK to verify
permission to access content. You may be

up additional TiVo devices and accessories.
MoCA (Multimedia over Coax Alliance)
–
Delivers a high-speed network connection
through existing coax cable. Some TiVo
products feature a built-in MoCA bridge (XL4,
Roamio Plus and Pro), others require an
Ethernet-coax bridge.
Multi-Service-Operator (MSO)

large entities offering a multitude of services
including cable, internet, phone and security.
When used in reference to TiVo products it
implies a synonym for cable company.
Network Attached Storage (NAS)

A detached storage solution which can be

record reruns.
