You want a STB that receives broadcast and displays it on a TV or
screen :) Does it matter what colour it is? It doesn't need a fancy
display on the front, you don't watch the display, you watch the TV!
We've got a couple of STB's now and the more expensive they are the
less we've ben satisfied. The cheapies are good, if they fail, it's
only a small amount to toss, which is common today in our disposable world.
As long as it has a remote control, you are fine :)
