Answer 1

Generally, unless you work for the QA (Quality Assurance) department of a game company, you do not get paid for testing games, as nice as that job might be. Most companies do their internal testing (Alpha tests, meaning in-house, with staff), then may choose to release a game to beta testers (out of house, meaning you), before final release.

You can become a beta tester by contacting a company and asking to be on their beta testing program.

Beta testers do not generally get paid. They get an early look at the software, ego boosts, and maybe bragging rights, but that's about it.

I guess you could find a company that specializes in out-of-house testing that might be hired, but usually that's not done for boxes. For desktop computers, yes, because they test on different configurations, but that's not an issue with set-top boxes.

So, good luck, but I don't think it'll be as easy to find, if at all, as you think.
