OddCI is a new architecture for distributed computing that is, at same time, flexible and highly scalable. Previous works have demonstrated the theoretical feasibility of implementing the proposed architecture on a digital television (DTV) network, but without taking into consideration any practical issues or details. This paper describes the implementation of a proof of concept for the architecture, called OddCI-Ginga, using a testbed based on DTV receivers compatible with the Brazilian DTV System. Performance tests using real broadcast transmission and the return channel demonstrate the feasibility of the model and its usefulness as a platform for efficient and scalable distributed computing.
