The box gives you access to basic Freeview over the stick if you plug an aerial into it but then a decent Smart TV should be able to give you most of what you can get with either.

The first Smart box did (blue logos), the latest gives access to Netfix in 4K (pink logos) with a suitable subscription and TV, the other black boxes did not have Freeview but now have Netflix in SD/ HD.

Subsidiary question about the sticks: is there any technical difference between those with white and yellow logos? Thanks.

There was supposed to be. The older white/silver logo sticks were the original ones, and the newer yellow ones were upgraded with voice control.

However, I bought a voice control one a few weeks ago, and it had a silver logo. So the logo itself is not a guide as to the capability/model.

BTW: the voice control works well with the Now TV content database and within the App, but not at all with other channels/apps beyond initially launching them.
