A digital TV tuner is the device inside a TV or
set top box that enables you to watch digital
TV.
You can get integrated digital TVs that have built in
Freeview digital TV tuners. This saves the need
for a Freeview set-top box to be plugged into your television.
You may find that an integrated digital TV is much easier to use
because you don't have to use two different controllers to work the
digital set-top box and the TV separately. It also saves on cable
clutter by cutting down on scart leads to digital boxes.
You can also get TVs with built in Freesat
digital TV tuners which require a satellite connection.
Freesat offers more channels than Freeview and
you can also get high definition Freesat digital TV. With Freesat
you will soon be able to access on-demand digital TV services from
the likes of BBC iPlayer.
