TV tuner
Broadcast signal decoder
A TV tuner is a device that receives television broadcast signals and converts them into audio and video.
Tuners may be built into television sets, computers, or external boxes.
Before streaming dominated, tuners were essential for watching broadcast channels: The old TV has a built-in tuner, but the new monitor needs an external one.
