Use STBs in conjunction with
internet service to get more benefits from a Home-Theater system; the
only downside is that computer monitors and TV
screens have resolutions
very different from each other; some content will appear to blurry to be
read.
STBs accept all TV brands
To enjoy the advantages of STBs,
no special attachments are required, and all STBs can be used with all
TVs currently available in the market; but remember to use only high
quality cables to connect the STB to other components.
Why are STBs popular
High-Definition technology is
still in developing steps, and new features and services appear often;
if possible, choose a High-Definition TV with separated HD tuner. Choose
then a STB with all the connections and features desired.
STB Energy Star compliant units
When choosing a STB, consider
getting one that is Energy Star compliant. STBs keep on working and
using energy even when they are turned off; STBs are constantly updating
programming and other data needed for their performance.
Use of Parental Control
To prevent kids from getting
access to Adult-only programming, use the Parental Control feature; this
helps restricting TV access to minors. If this feature is used, remember
to change the access code once in a while.
