A British colloquial term for a digital set-top box — the device that decodes digital television broadcasts and connects to a standard TV. 'Digibox' was originally a specific brand name for BSkyB's digital receiver but became generic slang for any set-top box in the UK, similar to how 'Hoover' became synonymous with vacuum cleaners. During the 1990s and 2000s digital TV rollout in Britain, getting a Digibox was a household milestone, and the term became embedded in everyday British vocabulary.
