A STB is a device that will decode the digital signal to enable the channels to be displayed on your Television set. This STB will plug into your TV set. It is also referred to as a decoder.
Although you will be able to receive the signal through your aerial, without the STB you will be unable to display the digital services on your television set. The STB decodes the digital signal received via a standard aerial antenna and supplies the TV set with a video signal.
All STBs will carry the SABS quality mark and the ‘GO DIGITAL’ logo to ensure conformity throughout the country.n
