The program provided CadÚnico enrollees with a new incentive, created to ease the transition to technological innovation represented by the 5G signal.
Therefore, if you are registered and still watch TV via conventional satellite dishes, it is crucial that you learn about the imminent changes.
With the introduction of the 5G signal, conventional satellite dishes in the 3.5 GHz band will no longer work, making it necessary to switch to the new digital antenna to continue watching your favorite programs.
To facilitate this change, the Federal Government announced the provision of free kits for families registered with CadÚnico in more than 1,600 Brazilian cities.
So far, this initiative has already benefited more than 500,000 families, ensuring that the technological transition does not affect them.
Therefore, if you are registered with CadÚnico and still use a conventional satellite dish, it is crucial that you obtain information about the availability of the free kit in your region and make the switch as soon as possible.

To help with this matter, we have organized this text. Join us to clarify several questions about this new benefit provided by the system.
What is the government’s digital antenna kit through CadÚnico?
Considering the process of migrating to the digital signal throughout the country and with the intention of ensuring that everyone maintains uninterrupted access to TV, we are making the CadÚnico Digital Antenna Kit available.
This set includes:
- Digital converter;
- Antenna (antenna body);
- Power supply;
- RCA cable;
- Rods and support with mast;
- Screws, nuts, and washers for assembly;
- 8 meters of coaxial cable;
- Remote control with batteries.
Our highly qualified technicians from the Siga Antenado program will replace the equipment to ensure a trouble-free installation.
Therefore, these technicians will go to the beneficiaries’ homes on the scheduled day to carry out the entire installation.
Who can benefit from the digital antenna through CadÚnico?
As mentioned, the Digital Antenna Kit Distribution Program aims to ensure access to digital technology for the Brazilian population registered with the Cadastro Único.
However, it is crucial to emphasize that to receive the free digital antenna kit, the beneficiary must have a conventional satellite dish in use.
Thus, the change to the new equipment will be easier and faster.
Additionally, to qualify for the benefit, the household income must be up to three minimum wages. This measure aims to focus assistance on those who need it most, providing a smooth transition to the new digital era.
Access to the program also depends on the place of residence. Currently, the availability of the digital antenna through CadÚnico is limited to families living in one of the Brazilian state capitals or in municipalities with more than 500,000 inhabitants.
How to schedule the exchange?
Finally, to schedule the exchange of the kits, the process is simple and can be done in two ways: call 0800 729 2404 or access the sigaantenado website.
When accessing the website, provide some personal information, such as the CPF number, along with the Social Registration Number (NIS), so that the registration can be confirmed and the appointment finalized.
