Before the SARFT document was issued, the TV box was filled with the software of various video websites, and the TV could play unauthorized content smoothly, just like a computer or tablet computer. However, according to the regulations, all the content played on the big screen of TV needs the authorization of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.

In addition, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television recently pointed out that TV UIs launched by some Internet technology companies are illegal, including MIUI of Xiaomi TV and Box and UI of LeTV TV. The general administration said that only the UI launched by the licensee is legal and compliant. At the same time, China Digital Media was criticized by name because Tmall's box sales were illegal.

Reminder:

According to the relevant documents of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, set-top boxes and smart TVs must choose to access legal content service platforms approved by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television and established by Internet TV content service organizations.

At present, only seven platforms have passed the acceptance of SARFT, namely: CNTV, bestv, Southern Media, China Digital, China Radio International CIBN, Hunan Radio and Television, and china national radio CNBN.
