an electronic part of a radio or television that allows one to watch or listen to a particular station
A tuner is a device or part of a device that receives and selects specific radio or television signals. It adjusts to different frequencies to pick up broadcasts, allowing users to listen to various radio stations or watch television channels. In a television, the tuner helps decode the signals coming from cable, satellite, or over-the-air broadcasts so they can be displayed on the screen. Tuners are built into most modern TVs, radios, and other electronic devices, and can also be found in external devices that add signal-receiving capabilities to older equipment.
