Uma proposta de computadores de baixo custo utilizando tv boxes apreendidas

Abstract

In recent years, the search for alternatives to closed TV media and paid video streaming has led to an increase in the purchase of pirate TV Boxes on the illegal market. This increase has prompted the agencies responsible for inspecting and seizing these devices to look for a viable alternative to the mass disposal and destruction of these devices, which are causing so much damage to the big media companies. The aim of this work is to provide an alternative within the law for seized TV Boxes, since they are an Embedded System (ES) and can be reused and repurposed to serve as a computer in schools, colleges, hospitals and other public environments. To this end, this work changed the Operating System (OS) of the seized TV Boxes, replacing their factory system with a free Linux OS. Finally, an analysis was carried out to decide whether the formatted devices can be used as computers.
