Etv can go fly a kite with their court action.

Tv is just not as important as spectrum access for internet

Stupid question. Can someone pls help me here. If I have a new tv (digital being a "smart" tv) do I still need a set top box (if I don't have any "box" like DSTV connected) or will the tv receive the digital signal on it's own and be able to tune in to a digital services.
