You can build yours from any available scanner. All you need to have is the software. I wrote a software while working at immigration 5 years ago.

TV Box
by Dennis Kioko 22 Dec '11

I bought the below device from Bestelll with the sole aim of linking my DVD player, USB via DVD player and get TV on my monitor. However, it suffers from a variety of shortfalls including: - poor picture quality - poor design(too many buttons) - poor User Interface https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-oPtNHgoESHg/TvA26bftuwI/AAAAAAAAAwc/ka1t… https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-opLyHFi2_FY/TvA26XPlXFI/AAAAAAAAAwg/pzDE… Wondering if there's a way that one can improve the picture quality, or is it a matter of importing chips. Wonder about the possibility of doing your own such device with chips that provide TV, USB, Analog video in and sound out , and possibly have an OS such as Android . Would make a great FAB labs project -- with Regards: blog.denniskioko.com <http://www.denniskioko.com/>
