The National Telecommunications Agency began a real mission to combat all types of illegal TV. So, very soon, there will be a blockade of TV Box illegal, which should affect at least five million Brazilians. However, it is worth remembering that the TV Box itself is not illegal, and it is necessary to know how to recognize when this TV is being used illegally.

TV Box is a great solution for those who don't have a smart TV yet. This is because, through this device, it is possible to convert your conventional television into a device with internet access, allowing you to access some applications.
In fact, the device contains the Android system that makes the television interface similar to that of your smartphone. Thus, people using this device need to connect it to a Wi-Fi network or connect it directly with a cable.
Thus, it will be possible to access all websites and platforms through the internet, in the same way as on a smart TV. In addition, it is also possible to watch television through this service.
This is because the TV Box can use IPTV, which is the service that distributes the signal of open channels over the internet. In addition, it is possible to hire paid channels through this service. This device is legal here in Brazil and is sold by different companies, such as Apple or Oi's Streaming Box.
How do I know if my TV Box is illegal?
As we already mentioned, not every TV Box is illegal. In fact, illegality occurs when a company secretly distributes channels for free. Sometimes, citizens even pay a monthly fee to a local company without knowing that it is an illegal device. In these cases, in fact, there will be the cut.
In addition, illegal TV Boxes can put people's safety at risk, since this tactic often collects citizens' personal data. Therefore, always check if your TV Box device has a stamp with an identification number by Anatel. Generally, this number is present on the packaging itself, or search on the Anatel website.
