Set-top boxes now offer users new video experiences that have low latency, quick speed, and great reliability thanks to the integration of 5G and Wi-Fi connections. Furthermore, high speed and 4K UHD video service with rich video content are offered by the integration of networking in set-top boxes. Because consumers want ultra-high definition visual quality, advanced technology like 4K TV has become more popular. A 4K set top box, which requires more processing power than an HD or full HD set top box, is necessary for these TVs.
