Question

Which option is better set top box, digital TV recorder or built-in tuner?

Answer

This depends on your circumstances. A set top box is usually the cheapest option to convert an existing television. A digital TV recorder will enable your existing analog TV to both view and record digital TV. 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.
