What is a Digital Cable Ready (DCR) device?
A DCR (Digital Cable ready) device is a TV, DVR, or other electronic receiver capable of providing access to certain High Definition (HD) and Standard Definition (SD) digital services. DCR devices can also provide access to encrypted digital services without the need for a receiver when a CableCARD is inserted into the slot labeled “CableCARD” or “POD” (Point of Deployment), usually located at the back of the TV. A digital receiver will still be required to access certain advanced features of the Service, such as FiOS TV Interactive Programming Guide, Pay-Per-View (PPV), Video-on-Demand (VOD), FiOS TV weather and traffic Widgets, and Parental Controls. A receiver is required to access these advanced Service features.
