FCC - (Federal Communications Commission) This is a Federal agency responsible for regulating radio wave usage and some other media. The FCC answers to Congress and also implements international radio standards.
LCOS - (Liquid Crystal On Silicon) - This is another contender to replace CRTs in projection TVs.
Multicasting - The option to multicast was made possible by digital technology to allow each digital broadcast station to split its bit stream into 2, 3, 4 or more individual channels of programming and/or data services. (For example, on channel 7, you could watch 7-1, 7-2, 7-3 or 7-4.)
Pixel - Pixel is actually two words jammed together _ picture and element. A pixel is a tiny sample of video information, the "little squares" that make up an overall picture.
Virtual channel number - This is the channel the consumer thinks he is watching. The actual (physical) channel is selected by a hidden mechanism.
