Digital TV

If you have a smart TV (digital) do you need to rent the mini boxes to get TV

Once the transition to all digital completes all TVs will require a box of some kind regardless of existing features in order to receive a TV signal.  TVs that already use a box will not require any changes however TVs that are currently connected directly to the wall for service will need either a mini-box or a traditional receiver.

A Smart TV only means the TV can connect to the Internet.  Once connected, you can install apps to stream content from Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, etc.  The Smart TV just eliminate any set-top box for Internet streaming.
