A set top box is an electronic device that connects to your analog television and external antenna. The device converts digital television signals to analog, thus making them visible on your television’s analog screen.

No, you do not need to purchase a new television in order to receive digital signals. It is possible to watch digital broadcasts on your old set as long as you connect a simple set top box that supports the MPEG-4 image system to it.

It is not necessary to make any changes to your existing antenna in order to receive digital signals. System conversion is completed through the set top box that you will need to connect.

In order to determine whether or not your television receiver can accept digital television signals, refer to your television manual or look on your receiver for indication that it has a MPEG4 embedded receiver. You can also visit your television manufacturer’s website to check your model’s receiver capabilities.

The lowest cost for a simple set top box that will upgrade your television with a simple connection starts at approximately 35€. For sure, there also are more complex digital receivers on the market designed for demanding and/or experienced television viewers who watch satellite or other specialized programs. If, on the other hand, you believe that the time has come to purchase a new television set, the amount that you want to spend depends on your financial circumstances. Be sure to confirm that the new set meets MPEG-4 specifications.

You will soon be able to purchase set top boxes at all electronic goods stores.

Simply and easily. Do you remember installing your first VCR a few years back? The logic is the same. In essence, the set top box is inserted between the antenna and your television set. The antenna is connected to the set top box and the set top box is connected to the television. Step-by-step connection instructions can be found in: “Individual ->How to connect the set top box”
