📋 Tender Overview
The Ministry of Communications has expanded an important public policy that brings more quality digital TV signal to those who need it most. From now on, low -income families from 323 Brazilian municipalities will be able to receive free digital satellite antenna kits, even if they do not yet have the traditional equipment installed at home. The measure seeks to expand access to open TV via satellite, especially in regions with low terrestrial cover.
Previously, only those registered in the Federal Governments Single Registry for Social Programs (CadUnico) who used conventional satellite antennas were entitled to the benefit. The expansion, published in an ordinance in the Federal Official Gazette, aims to guarantee access to free and satellite open TV to populations living in areas with low terrestrial coverage.

The measure will benefit nine municipalities in Rio Grande do Norte (Caicara do Norte, Florania, Jandaira, Messias Targino, Parazinho, Pedra Grande, Sao Bento do Norte, Sao Miguel do Gostoso and Sao Vicente); Seven cities in Ceara (Catunda, Croata, Deputy Irapuan Pinheiro, Milha, Monsignor Tabosa, Quiterianopolis and Solonopole); and three in Pernambuco (dormant, Santa Cruz and Santa Filomena).
Also residents will benefit from 13 other states: Bahia (20 cities), Espirito Santo (2), Goias (21), Maranhao (46), Minas Gerais (30), Mato Grosso do Sul (4), Para (15), Piaui (88), Roraima (3), Rio Grande do Sul (4) and Tocantins (44).
The replacement of traditional satellings with digital is required due to interference caused by the 5G signal implementation, which operates in the same frequency range (3.5 GHz). The new equipment offers sound and image in high definition, greater reception stability and an expanded programming grid, with up to 100 regional and national channels.
The program began serving cadunic families who had already parabolic, preventing them from being harmed by the arrival of 5G. Now we are in a new phase, also reaching those who do not have the equipment, but lives in regions with low digital channel offer. It is the expansion of an essential public policy that promotes social and digital inclusion, said the secretary of electronic social communication, Wilson Diniz Wellisch.
Who can request the free kit?
Families registered in CadUnico who use traditional satellite antennas have until June 30, 2025, at 20h (Brasilia time), to request the installation. Schedule can be done through the site www.sigaantenado.com.br or by calling 0800 729 2404.
The deadlines and procedures for the request by the beneficiaries who do not yet have parabolic, and who live in these 323 municipalities contemplated in the new ordinance, will be released soon.
