Among the greatest challenges currently facing the Brazilian government is the need to make information and communication technologies available to the largest portion of the population of the country. This paper presents some considerations on the implantation of the Brazilian System of Digital Television (SBTVD-T) launched by Federal Decree 5.820/2006, through which the Brazilian government made a technical option impregnated by political pressure. The implantation of the system has involved researchers from various areas, technological as well as social, aiming at developing a system which would satisfy the demands of Brazilian society, and including internet connection. From the perspective of digital inclusion proposed by us, digital television could become an important element in transforming the educational system in view of citizenship training instead of merely preparing to be mere consumers, whether of products or information.
