or digital receiver—A digital tuner serves as the decoder required to receive and display digital broadcasts. A digital tuner can down-convert broadcasts for an analog TV or provide a digital signal to a digital television. It can be included inside TV sets or via a set-top box.

A set-top or built-in television tuner that receives digital television signals. Also called "digital receiver."

A digital tuner is a tuning device that allows a television or radio set to receive signals via airwaves, satellite, or cable and translates them into a signal the device can display. A tuner is useful for receiving digital broadcasts over the air or via satellite and displaying it on a high definition television or standard definition television digital television set. Tuners are also used in radio receivers to tune in radio stations digitally (0.2 MHz increments for FM in the US, but less in other countries, thus most FM tuners use 0.1 MHz or 0.05 MHz increments), as opposed to analog dialing.
