What is DVB-T?

It works like traditional TV, but because the signals are digital you need a set
top box to convert them. This means more channels can be transmitted with
extra features such as interactivity and wide screen pictures.

Accessories In the Box

packaging from each part.

Digital set top box with fitted mains plug
