A 'protection-defeating device' or android box colloquially known as a 'dodgy box' used to illegally stream content.

Three people involved in allegedly selling 'dodgy boxes' — which are used to illegally access TV streaming services — have been found liable by the High Court to pay possibly hundreds of thousands of euro which Sky says it has lost from their activities.

Mr Justice Liam Kennedy granted judgment, in two separate cases, against the three to Sky UK Ltd which provides TV services in Britain and Ireland.
