Cable Locater

A job position that requires a worker to utilize wireless equipment to detect underground communication cables.

Look at that cable locater doing good locates.

fancy cable

n. A type of cable television distribution using fancy video compression. The technology was developed by Motorola. Fancy cable is used by cable distributors to increase the variety of programming available on their networks, using video compression to transfer more channels through their cable networks already in place. The use of the fancy technology also adds the functionality of the cable box to have two-way communication, allowing for the purchasing of pay-per-view programming without use of a phone line, in addition to video on demand services and a secure signal.

Rachael went home to watch fancy cable at her parent's again...go figure!

Vestigial cable

Cable TV offering in many budget lodgings that is more basic than basic cable. Usually a tuning guide one real cable channel and an assortment of lame local channels. Rudimentary cable is a similar weak program option.

We stayed at the Super-8 lat night...the room was OK but the vestigial cable has to be the worst ever.
