External ATSC Digital TV Set-Top Receivers
Monday February 27, 2006
ATSC digital set-top receivers are devices that receive and decode digital television signals for output on a high definition TVs (HDTV) that don't have built-in digital tuners.
Most people use a cable/satellite box to serve this purpose. However, some people don't subscribe to cable/satellite, or they don't want to pay for the upgradeable HD service/box to receive local channels.
Note: HD signals are part of the ATSC spectrum. I recommend using the service providers box (when possible).
