In addition to the electronics typically found in most television sets, a DCR product incorporates many of the same electronics found in a digital set-top box. The key difference is that a DCR product does not itself contain technology that will allow the television to display encrypted digital signals. Such decryption technology is instead built into the CableCARD™. Since cable operators encrypt most digital cable signals (other than, e.g., retransmitted local broadcast digital TV programming), a CableCARD™ must be inserted into a DCR product in order for that product to receive most digital cable programming. 3
