Which option is better – set-top box or built-in tuner?
This depends on your circumstances. A set-top-box is usually the cheapest option to convert an existing television. Many new television sets contain a built-in digital tuner and don’t need anything other than an antenna. If you are already subscribing or planning to subscribe to a subscription TV service, you may wish to check with your provider and enquire about their options.
