Which smart TV set-top box to choose and is it possible to watch digital TV through it?

Question

TVs

Hi all. Who is in the subject, please explain:
a) what TV set-top box should I take? opted for mi box s, buy or something else to look at? for other unknowns in general
b) is it possible to watch digital channels through the same mi box or do you need a digital TV set-top box? I connect the usual cable (analogue) directly to the TV.

Answer 1

a) If you only watch TV and movies from a USB flash drive, then I would take it without an android. But if you want to communicate on the Internet and play toys, then you need to look for it on Android.
b)
If we take that "Digital TV" is the TV that is broadcast on the air in the DVB-T2 format - via a radio channel and antenna
Then no
If we take that "Digital TV" is the TV that can be watched via the Internet by receiving a media stream from the server - via the Internet channel
Yes

Answer 2

In order for the bailiff to show the broadcast, it must have a tuner and an antenna input. These do exist, but are quite rare. And such hybrids of a snake with a hedgehog usually come out not very good.
If digital TV does not necessarily mean ether, then options are possible. If it's iptv, then no problem (except for encrypted streams and other attempts by the provider to reinvent the wheel) or if it's online TV (torrent or lol-tv or dozens of others) - then no problem at all - an android program is installed and go. Only switching channels is not as convenient as on a simple telly.
