GARDAÍ have dismantled a suspected pirate TV operation which could have cost legitimate operators more than €20m annually.
The Garda economic crime investigation unit (ECIU) confirmed it had conducted a number of operations across Cork and seized a significant quantity of electronic equipment.
Gardaí were targeting unlicensed 'set top' boxes which allowed people to access prime TV stations.
The raids followed a lengthy intelligence operation which was focused on Cork but which also involved other counties nationwide.
The cost of the suspected fraud is potentially put at €20m per annum - and could extend to 20,000 people using such unlicensed 'set top' boxes nationwide

Much less if it was cable boxes as servers were like hens teeth
Possibly plenty with android or other devices.
