"SET TOP BOX" (STB) is a device, which is connected to a television set at the subscribers' premises and which allows a subscriber to view encrypted channels of his choice on payment. The basic function of the set top box is to decrypt/decode the signals of those channels which the subscriber has been authorized by the multi system operator to receive and to convert the digital signals for viewing on television sets.

A SMART CARD OR A VIEWING CARD ESSENTIALLY FUNCTIONS LIKE AN ATM CARD AND INSERTED IN THE SET TOP BOX. IT ALLOWS THE TV SIGNALS OF ONLY THOSE CHANNELS TO BE SEEN WHICH THE SUBSCRIBER HAS CONTRACTED TO PAY FOR A PARTICULAR PERIOD.
