dekooderboks

A dekooderboks, often referred to as a set-top box or decoder, is an electronic device that receives a signal and converts it into something that can be displayed on a television screen. These devices are commonly used for accessing digital television services. The incoming signal can be broadcast, cable, or satellite, and the dekooderboks decodes the digital information into video and audio that a television can interpret.

Modern dekooderboks often offer more than just basic channel reception. Many include features such as electronic program guides (EPGs), which provide a schedule of upcoming television programs. They can also facilitate interactive services, allowing users to access video on demand (VOD) or pay-per-view content. Some advanced dekooderboks may even have recording capabilities, often referred to as digital video recorders (DVRs), enabling users to store programs for later viewing. The specific functionalities and features of a dekooderboks can vary significantly depending on the service provider and the type of digital television being accessed. The term "dekooderboks" itself is a compound word, with "dekooder" referring to the decoding function and "boks" signifying its physical form as a box-shaped electronic device.
