cable box
TV signal converter
A cable box is a device that receives cable television signals and converts them for display on a television set.
Before smart TVs, the cable box was the interface between the cable line entering your home and your screen, often housing the channel guide and recording functions.
The remote for the cable box is different from the TV remote.
