The STBs would be needed to receive a digital signal on old-style analogue broadcast television sets. "South Africa's information technology sector," she said "is a leader in the fields of electronic banking services, pre-payment, revenue management and fraud prevention systems, and in the manufacture of set-top boxes (STBs)."
