Digital OTA is useful if you don't want to pay for cable but you want to watch local sports or the news something. If you are in a large metro area, you can get a great picture and a surprising variety of channels.
The set-top box can do OTA too.
If you don't have a set top box, i.e. no cable, no sattelite, then you would plug OTA directly into the TV and use the tuner there. I haven't used a set-top box in like 15 years. It's always been an HTPC, or an Intel Nuc or something like that.
