Maltz clarified the word {HaSta}: {HaSta} actually means "video," that is, moving (well, usually moving) visual images. When used by itself on a ship, as part of ship's jargon, however, it refers to the "visual display" mode of a {jIH} (viewing screen). {HaSta jIH} (television) is "video viewing screen," that is, a viewing screen that displays video. (Although {HaSta jIH} literally means the television's screen alone, it is used to refer to the entire device.) {HaSta jIH much} ("television show"), frequently shortened to {HaSta much}, is based on {HaSta jIH} (not on {HaSta} alone) and refers to what is presented on the television screen (the content, not just the images).
