Why digital?

Most televisions have a built-in DVB-T tuner. This means that the television receives a signal from the ether and transforms it into image and sound. This is a wireless reception. This way of receiving a signal is free but it only gives you access to a limited number of stations. We also refer to this as analog television.

However, the digital television offers more choice and possibilities. Often, the new models have a DVB-C tuner for receiving this. Nowadays, you have the possiblity of inserting a simple smartcard from your provider into the television, so you do not need a separate box.

When do you choose an external TV tuner?

It might be the case that your television does not support the smartcard from the provider of your choice. Or that your television does not have a built-in CI+ option. If this is the case, it is easy to resolve this using an external TV tuner. Via a cable, you connect this box to every television of your choice.
