ABSTRACT:
A digital television converter is provided, for example for performing all of the functions of a set top box for receiving digital terrestrial or satellite television broadcast signals. The converter comprises a SCART connector for mating with a mating connector on a television apparatus, such as a television receiver or a VCR, which is incapable of reception of digital television broadcasts. This connection provides electrical contact with the apparatus and provides mechanical support for the converter. The converter also comprises a tuner which selects and demodulates a television channel for reception and supplies to the connector signals in a form suitable for use by the television apparatus. A connector rear housing completes the enclosure for the converter containing the tuner.
