What is OTA and do i need a Set-Top Box?

An over-the-air (OTA) set-top box is a device that receives, tunes into, and decodes HDTV signals from local television stations. OTA set-top boxes can also record live TV. 

When choosing an OTA set-top box, you can consider things like:

  • Tuners The number of HD tuners the device has. Two tuners is the minimum to record two channels at once or watch one while recording another.
  • Storage The amount of built-in storage space. A terabyte of storage can hold about 150 hours of program content.
  • External storage Whether the device can add extra storage via USB or SD card. An external hard drive is a good option.

Sometimes stations change the frequency on which they broadcast — the channel a viewer selects to watch a particular station remains the same but the frequency that the viewer’s television finds the station on changes -- requiring viewers who use an over-the-air antenna to rescan their tuners to locate the station's new signal (Refer to our "Remember to Rescan" video and instructions to learn how to rescan your TV).
