Have you noticed what has changed on TV stands in recent years? More and more homes are getting set-top boxes for a better TV experience. This small change has brought with it some big new benefits, including a wider range of content! With the Sat.tv service, the set-top boxes on the market perform even better. But how is this service integrated with the set-top boxes on the market? Find out everything you need to know about set-top boxes and the Sat.tv solution.

First of all, what is a set-top-box?

A set-top box is a compact device that plugs into your TV and gives you access to video content. This box allows you to receive the digital TV channels available on satellite and to display them on your television set. It sometimes allows access to other TV channels and video-on-demand content (such as YouTube). It is therefore an essential piece of equipment for family entertainment.

There are now a lot of set-top boxes on the market. So how do you choose the one that’s right for you? Our advice: rather than focusing on the set-top box, focus on the services it offers. Tip: it’s always better if the Sat.tv service is integrated…

How does the Sat.tv service work on set-top boxes?

The Sat.tv service does not really exist by itself. It needs to be installed in a set-top box to work. You get the Sat.tv service via special software. This software is integrated into the set-top box and then you’re ready to go!

However, this is done by professionals. In other words, you can’t install this software yourself in the set-top box of your choice. That’s because it’s really technical stuff. For set-top box vendors, the Sat.tv software is particularly attractive: it offers a new user interface for discovering hundreds of channels in HD and in several languages!

Which set-top box should I choose to get the Sat.tv service?

To get the Sat.tv service, we recommend you go to a specialist shop or look online. There you will find people to advise you who will explain which set-top box to choose if you want to use the Sat.tv service. There are currently several set-top boxes available on the market that have the Sat.tv software built in. So it won’t be difficult to find what you’re looking for!
