      STEP 2. Using an external DTV tuner

      If the TV does not have an integrated DTV tuner, you have to use an external DTV tuner – STB (set-top-box). Connect the receiver to the rear panel of your TV, install and configure it going after the instructions provided with the device. Then follow the steps below.

      1. Connect your STB (set-top-box) to your TV by using an HDMI, SCART or an analogue cable.
