Is it important to have a licensee? Detailed television boxes have the advantages and disadvantages of a non-licensee!

Speaking of this video resource, we have to mention a term—a licensee. The licensee controls all the resources of the TV box itself. Usually we say that there are not enough resources in it. We must first look at the license of this TV box. Which is the business, then the following first talk about this licensee's past and present life.

The past and present of the licensee

When the network set-top box first appeared, there was no word for a licensee. There was a lot of gaps in the docking of boxes and software. The rapid development of the set-top box was also riddled with many bad factors. In other words, as long as one software was available, many movies could be seen. Resources, thus undermining the interests of many parties, so SARFT issued the 181th document, stipulating that Internet set-top boxes and smart TVs, and wanting to access the Internet to play video files, need to cooperate with licensees, and have obtained content copyright, and there is no copyright. For Shanzhai cargo, its broadcast video content may be suspended at any time. The company will face legal sanctions and the products purchased by users will become worthless.

With the release of radio and television documents, the term “license dealers” has become very popular. What license providers are there?

So far, SARFT has issued only seven Internet TV licenses. CCTV International - CNTV (CCTV is the applicant)

Hangzhou Huashu (joint application from Zhejiang and Hangzhou TV stations)

Shanghai Wenguang - BesTV (Shanghai TV is the main application)

Southern Media (Guangdong TV Station is the applicant)

Hunan TV Station

China Radio International

Central People's Radio


Many netizens may not be very clear about the name of this license. To Zhang, everyone will know:


Does this seem clear at a glance? For the issuance of Document No. 181, from the perspective of the management system, TV manufacturers must cooperate with the aforementioned licensees in order to develop Internet TV products and obtain “admission tickets” for entering Internet TV. Only the brand authorized by the licensee of any of the above is the regular army in the box, and consumption will be guaranteed.

The prospects are good, but the people of the world know that there are people in the wild. Like the eight-year war, although the country name party is a regular army, in the end it was the Communist Party that won China. There are regular manufacturers. Of course there are unknown names. The wild manufacturers, they do not have a formal licensee, but the market competitiveness is equally good, you must know that in China, genuine and piracy war has never stopped.

Where is the regular VS wild advantage?

Formal licensee

1, to ensure resources, with the licensee, that is to say there is protection, if any day radio and television to publish documents to allow TV box manufacturers without licensees to suspend business for rectification, at least not affected.

2. Expand publicity and have a license before you can carry out propaganda and expand the popularity so that your TV box sells better and better. If you do not have a formal licensee, you will be afraid of the defendant at any time. "Challenge") cannot be sold on the market with great fanfare, and sales are also influential.

3, big brands have to use, like millet, Tmall, LeTV, such a big brand, if there is no licensee, not waiting to be jokes? As a big brand, words and deeds are the focus of the user's attention. Just like the previous Red Rice incident, would it be a second time?

There are pirates in genuine wild manufacturers. This is the status quo in China. Although efforts are being made to improve it, it still cannot be eliminated. What is the difference between a license and a license?

1. The price must know that the licenses are all for money. Small companies without licenses can completely save this part of the money, the cost is reduced, and the natural selling price is reduced.

2. Configuration, on the price, some people will also say that many unlicensed TV boxes are also very expensive to sell, this will have to talk about the TV box's other features, configuration, as a digital product, did not get a decent configuration spell? So you will find that many unlicensed TV boxes have top-level configurations (such as Cloud Network CR18).

3. Resources and licensees also have interests in competition. Therefore, many TV boxes have complementary resources. That is, only one party resource will not have all resources, which means that third-party software needs to be installed. This is not the same as a TV box without a licensee.

Before Xiaomi cooperated with TV in the future, it was because ICNTV was behind CCTV International, which is the representative of CCTV.

This licensee, like Bestrade, has only one TV box and is not outstanding, so it is not clear what the status quo is.

Non-licensed merchant box represents cloud network
The TV box configuration of this brand is quite high, and the price is not too expensive, suitable for enthusiast players.

In summary, most television boxes are still licensed by licensees, especially large-brand manufacturers, well-known manufacturers, and those who are waiting to see if they want to expand their influence on smart products. Need a regular licensee.

And in terms of prospects, with a formal licensee, you can take the formal channels of publicity, will not be afraid of what day radio and television has issued a mess of documents (such as the previous U blocked SB interface), from this point, there are Licensors are guaranteed.
However, on the other hand, most of the resources of these licensees are complementary, but it is not possible for a single company to have full resources. Therefore, with a licensee, it is still necessary to install third-party video software. Business, so that manufacturers can save money to spend their thoughts on the configuration, the user to buy a box can also save money to buy a better configured TV box, from the price, it is cost-effective to win.
