Background
A digital video converter Box (STB) is a device, usually called a Set-Top Box or Set-Top Box, for connecting a television Set to an external signal source, which converts a compressed digital signal into television content and displays the television content on the television Set. The signals may come from cable, satellite dish, broadband network and terrestrial broadcast. The set-top box receives digital content, including electronic program guides, internet web pages, etc., in addition to the images and sounds that an analog television can provide. It enables users to watch digital television programs on existing television sets and to conduct interactive digital entertainment, education and commercialization activities over a network.
Personal Video Recorder (PVR), for set-top box, refers to a function related to recording programs. The set top box SN (Serial Number), i.e. the factory equipment Number of the set top box, is a unique identification code of each set top box, and each set top box has only one SN Number.
