    Well a tuner in this case is actually just like the tuner you would have in most TVs. So by having a tuner built into the DVD recorder you can record items from your antenna or cable without needing a tuner or cable box.

    Without a tuner you would have to have an external tuner like a cable box, satellite box, or an external TV tuner for your antenna that would feed the channel you want to record to the DVD recorder.
