Hmmm, I didn't know the AZ was used for hacking, or capable of it.
I bet their "lost revenue" might stem from the fact that the AZbox is being
used to access the multitudes of "ITC" channels that are available to the area.
Ergo; no need for a subscription.

I havent seen any indication of piracy on the AZbox for North America, however I have signs of it for other countries.

Is Brazil going to ban computers altogether? Because anything that can be programmed could be used for piracy.

Apparently, dongles and card sharing are the culprits. It should also be noted that there are many so-called AZBoxes that certainly aren't by Opensat (and, according to the Opensat/AZbox website, they have been taking action against them).

The AZ office in South Florida was primarily for export to South America. The US distribution was a small secondary market. This had been discussed several times a few years back.
Like it or not, the main reason that the AZ came to North America was to provide for the demand for theft of service in South America. The US was merely an point in the distribution chain to supply the demand elsewhere. As always, follow the money trail..... North American hobbyists once again benefitted from STB development financed by hackers. Recently heard of anther popular European manufacturer who was about to set up distribution in South Florida to capitalize on this demand, but shelved plans as Brazil began to clamp down.
Expect to see a glut of cheap and unsupported S2 receivers get dumped on the NA market as STBs headed for Brazil get wholesaled to minimize the distributors losses.Last edited by SatelliteAV; 01-03-2012 at 10:55 AM.

Niche market in Brazil for a FTA STB. It is all about theft of service and key sharing. Not a market that we are interested in..... Originally Posted by kodaz
