Families that are registered in CadÚnico and receive some benefit from federal government social programs are eligible for some benefits, and one of them is the Antenna Kit.

With this kit, families will have better image and sound quality in free-to-air channels, without having to undergo any intervention. This program was created by Anatel (National Telecommunications Agency) with the support of the federal government and is called “Siga Antenado”.

Want to know who is entitled and how to receive? Read:

The Digital Antenna Kit is an equipment that has a set of signal reception. This device has a high technology that increases the quality of image and sound. This kit is for those who use satellite dishes.

Today, around 20 million families use the open and free satellite television signal through the C Band. With the new digital antenna kit, there will be a migration to the Ku Band. This band is better because it has less interference from the 3.5GHz band, which is designed for 5G.

Therefore, beneficiaries of the Digital Antena Kit will be able to watch their programs and soap operas with much better quality than what was previously offered.

As mentioned above, the target audience for this antenna kit are beneficiary families of one of the government's social programs, such as the Casa Verde e Amarela Program, Social Tariff for Electric Energy and the Elderly Card.

These families are low-income and are on the poverty line or extreme poverty. These people will receive the equipment for free.

The first requirement to receive the kit is to register with CadÚnico. If you are already registered, you can order the kit for free.

Those who are not yet enrolled in CadÚnico must register to receive the Kit, if you meet the requirements. To be accepted, the citizen must prove monthly income of up to 3 minimum wages, this total must be the sum of all family members.

Those who are already beneficiaries will be called to pick up the Antenna Kits. For this, it is extremely important to keep the register up to date.

For those who are not yet registered in the Cadastro Único, it is mandatory to register to pick up the kit, that is, if the family meets all the requirements. To register, you need to look for the CRAS closest to you.

At the CRAS (Social Assistance Reference Center), this is where the registration takes place. Just go to the nearest unit with personal documents, such as identity, birth and marriage certificates and work card.

It is not always that the citizen receives the answer at the time, because the data collected goes to the Ministry of Social Development, which validates whether the information is correct. The ministry validates the information, they inform whether or not the family will be contemplated with the benefit.

After having the benefit granted, it is necessary to request the installation of the equipment. To order the Digital Antenna Kit is very simple.

It is necessary to make the request through Anatel's call center, by the number 08007292404, but if you prefer, you can also make the request online on the official website of the Siga Antenado program.

After performing this step, the citizen must answer a questionnaire and define the day and time for the installation of the digital antenna kit. On the scheduled day and time, a specialist technician will go to the house in question to check whether or not it will be necessary to install the kit, if so, the technician will install it.
