What is a "cable converter box"?

A cable converter box is a device that allows a television to receive and decode cable signals, converting them into a format that the TV can display. It is often used when a television does not have a built-in system for receiving digital or protected cable channels. The converter box connects to the cable service and provides access to a variety of channels, sometimes including premium or pay-per-view content. It may also offer additional features like on-screen guides, video recording, or parental controls.
