Brazil’s telecoms regulator Anatel claims that during an operation last week, it successfully blocked around 80% of pirate ‘TV boxes’ in the country. Estimates from early 2023 suggest that seven million were active in Brazil. The operation, claimed to be the most significant ever carried out, arrives just weeks after Google & Cisco were criticized for “turning a blind eye” to the IPTV piracy problem.
You could install CF on the android box, install vpn and configure DNS to cloudflare or quad9 or something, install Kodi with the right repos, and have full functionality back
As if 80% of the users would do that. The reality in Brazil might not be what you think, those people aren’t’ tech savvy people, not even close. They’re most likely people who bought a box from someone selling them door-to-door that was it.

generally speaking people who buy preconfigured IPTV systems aren’t able to do it themselves, hence paying money for someone else to do it.
Fair enough. Maybe some slightly more tech savvy Brazilians are reading this right now though lol
Yeah but those will get pirated content either way. The problem is the 80% that won’t be able to do it as just trash the boxes.
