Download app " Greek TV" from the Google app store. And also download MX Player to get the channels going.

No..... They have all different programming. ERT HD is the same as ERT 1. ERT World has different programming also. I verified that. If you get a good fast Android TV Box and load up on the Greek channels, you will probably cancel your Greek subs from Bell. I know a few relatives and Greek friends that cancelled from Rogers and Bell. Cost from both providers is ridiculous. Rogers charges $35.00 for only 3 Greek channels which a neighbor up the street pays plus basic cable. Do the math and see what the cost is.... Both providers are using scare tactics on one of the Greek channels to prevent people from cancelling their subs. I have not seen the commercial myself but my mom has seen it a few times.

Right now it is still on channel 714... It is alternating from Greek Cinema to ERT World.I do believe by April sometime, it will be all ERT World for which I hope not. Unless Bell adds another Greek channel on their satellite service lineup, than it will be only MEGA COSMOS, ANT SATELLITE & ERT WORLD. If you want to view all the ERT stations, get an ANDROID box. You will be able to catch all Greek channels for FREE. Providing you have good high speed internet with Wi-Fi.

With all this talk of ERT World available now in Canada is fascinating to me....... I have an Android box that gets ERT1, ERT2, ERT3, and ERTHD & ERT World for the longest time and tons of other Greek channels. And all at N/C.The only channel that it does not carry is ANT1 Satellite which is licensed here in North America by Dish network in the US and OTN here in Canada. And they work great. There is an APP that you can download on your device and on your Android phone and away you go. Just need good internet with Wi-Fi and you are all set. I still have Bell Sat and noticed it when I put in on to see what Greek movie on Greek Cinema is playing and to my surprise, there was ERT World. Just boring stuff when I watched it for a few minutes. And it was the same programming when I turned on my Android phone to check out the programming on that channel. It is not the old ERT as I know before the old Greek government shut it down a few years back. That old ERT channel had some decent programming which I enjoyed viewing.

I almost forgot........... If you have a ROKU device. you can add the Greek TV app and you will also get free Greek channels like SKAI, ANT1, MEGA COSMOS, ALPHA SAT, ERT WORLD, E & some Cypriot channels. Also has a section for expats that include Greek Cinema and a bunch of other local Greek channels like Creta TV. You will also require the internet for ROKU also. Nice little unit though. I find it user friendly and the quality is good. And I have stopped paying for Greek channels from the local providers. If the technology is there and you have the hardware, why pay when you can get it at no cost when the providers in Greece are offering the service through web service.

I even have it set up on my Samsung phone and my Android box. Get all the Greek and Greek Cypriot channels free. Even get Mega Cosmos and Alpha Sat which were added not too long ago. I was surprised when I seen them added. Not too many sports channels though. Perhaps they will add them in the near future. Now adding them to some Greek friends and relatives on their android boxes. As long as you have good high speed internet, you should not have any problems.And the quality is really good.

I have had Android TV now for 18 months...... It is great. Tons of movies, old TV shows and all the Greek Channels you can watch. Live from Greece of course. Also have Greek TV programs from previous weeks saved just in case you missed them. Cloud TV is another great APP. Has many Greek & Cypriot channels. Excellent quality. You may want to cancel your Greek channels from your cable and satellite providers after viewing them from your device. :tup:

Yassou Hellas Hab, I contacted them just over a week ago and I had a long conversation with them. It was a rep with Bell TV that I was talking to and I just played dumb with him at first. One the conversation got going; he sort of knew afterwards that I knew a few things when I put him on the spot. And he did admit that there are more subscribers with Bell TV than with Fibe TV. I also asked him about the Multicultural subs with Fibe compared to Bell TV and says yes there are more with Bell TV. Fibe is only available in major cities and not in rural areas and it seems that he was also trying to get me to switch internet with Bell. It seems that the reps are being trained to sell Fibe TV to existing Bell TV customers I said forget it. It will never happen....... What really raised his eyebrows when I told him that I may cancel my service because of the Android box that I have with over 60 live Greek Channels from Greece. And Free............ And he was speechless when I said that once I install an over the air antenna to get all the locals channels in HD and all the Buffalo NY HD channels & all for free. No more Rogers or Bell. Something both providers don't like to hear. There are many people getting fed up being gouged by these greedy providers and are now starting to fight back. Just have to remember that free TV from an antenna combined with web based services (IPTV or Android) can create a powerful TV package. You can save hundreds of dollars yearly and no more monthly cable or Satellite bills......

I too have the Android TV box. And you get over 65 live Greek Channels including MEGA, ANT1, ALFA, STAR TV, RIK SAT, KRITI TV and much more.... And they come in very clear if you have good high speed internet. I only paid one price for this device and it is worth the investment. Not only Greek channels, but tons of other programming as well............ I to have Bell TV with the Greek combo which has ANT1, Greek Movie Channel and MEGA COSMOS. I scolded them a while ago as to why there are many Greek Channels on Fibe TV and only 3 on Bell TV. Bell admitted that there are much more customers on Bell TV than Fibe TV. And then I asked why do you have all those Greek Channels on Fibe and not on Satellite TV when most of your customers have Bell TV. They did not give me a reason for that. Perhaps they were trying to get me with Fibe Internet. I said forget it ! Too expensive and not very reliable from what I hear from a few people including my next door neighbor. They said afterwards that they will synchronize both Fibe and Bell TV programming, but they did not give me a specific date as to when. I already warned them what my intensions are for Bell Satellite TV if I don?t see a change in their channel lineup. For older retired Greek speaking people who don't have the internet, like my parents cannot afford to spend an extra $50.00 plus a month just to get a few more Greek channels. They are with Rogers since ALFA is available for $5.00 extra / month as long as they have the other Greek channels. But all that will change by next year with the CRTC ruling with pick and pay system and all that International bundling will be also thing of the past.............:)
