Digital “Plug and Play”

QUICK FACTS

The FCC has adopted rules for digital “plug and play” which means consumers can

plug their cable directly into their digital TV set without the need of a set-top box or

navigation device.

The new rules will permit TV sets to be built with “plug and play” functionality for one-

way digital cable services, which include typical cable programming services and

premium channels like HBO and Showtime.

Consumers will have to obtain a security card (often called a “POD” or “cable card”),

from their local cable operator, to be inserted into the TV set.

Rule: DA/FCC 03-225

Section 304, Telecomm Act Of 1996

1. What is “plug and play?”

Increasingly, cable services are being provided in digital format and broadcast stations are in the

midst of a transition from analog to all-digital service. Currently, analog cable-ready TVs are

available for basic analog services over cable, but not for digital services over cable, including

“plug-and-play.” A “plug-and-play” television is a digital television that you can plug directly

into your cable system to receive analog and most digital cable services without the need for a

set-top box. To use “plug-and-play” you will need a security card.
