        Hmmm...I'll give it a go...

        EMU - Emulator, i.e. evocamd, mgcamd, etc.

        SNR - Signal to Noise Ratio - The amount of good signal that the tuner can see above the noise.

        BER - Bit Error Rate - Amount of noise in your feed.

        EPG - Electronic Program Guide - Daily/Weekly listing of programs on any channel.

        CAM - Conditional Access Module - A device that your smartcard slots into and then into your receiver.

        FTP - File Transfer Protocol - Method for transferring files from one drive to another.
