The role of the set-top box:

Digital set-top box is both a user terminal and a network terminal. It can make the analog TV set change from passive receiving analog TV to interactive digital TV (such as video on demand), and can access the Internet, so that users can enjoy all-round information services such as TV, data and language. At present, some people think that set-top boxes are used to connect TV sets to the Internet, which is a misunderstanding.

In fact, before the popularization of digital TV, digital set-top box was one of the members of broadband integrated information network. With the development of digital technology, multimedia technology and network technology, the built-in and overall cost of digital set-top box will be reduced, so that most users can realize entertainment, internet access and other services on ordinary analog TV sets.
