What is catv?

CATV stands for Cable Television and is a system of distributing television programming to subscribers via a network of coaxial cables. CATV is used by cable companies to deliver television, internet, and telephone services to customers. CATV technology operates differently than traditional broadcast television, where signals are transmitted over the airwaves and captured by an antenna. With CATV, a coaxial cable is used to deliver a constant, high-quality signal to the customer's home. Today, CATV is widely used in the United States, with more than 90% of households having access to cable television services.
