Per Google, the English term \"set-top box\" turns up in about 650 web pages in Portuguese, often preceded by terms like \"conversor\" or \"descodificador\" or \"aparelho.\" So depending what type of machine this particular set-top box is, you might want one of those words before it.

Sometimes it\'s just used by itself, in which case the English plural is used \"Set-Top Boxes.\"

Obrigado, Andreia!
