Can an integrated Digital TV set receive TV signals from cable, satellite, terrestrial and internet?
To be able to receive TV services, an iDTV requires the corresponding inbuilt tuner/receiver. Usually iDTVs are manufactured with terrestrial tuners for reception of services transmitted via the terrestrial network. In addition to the terrestrial tuner, a few iDTVs have an inbuilt satellite or cable signal tuner, or a combination of these. More recently, some models have added wireless internet interface. To avoid increasing the iDTV’s bill of materials, the manufacturer may produce it with only the features that are required to meet commercial demand. European regulation requires that iDTVs above a certain size have an interface which would allow for access to other platform’s services if used in conjunction with a conditional access module. Furthermore, like any other TV set, with an appropriate external STB connected to it an iDTV can receive TV signals from cable, satellite or internet.
