gang3171 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 If Mega wants to survive it needs to com to Dish. People are fed up with buying new equipment with GMG wanting to play musical platforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grk101 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 For what it’s worth, GMG is offering the receiver "free". Of course one still has to pay shipping and such... :gr: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course one still has to pay shipping and such... :gr:SORRY BUT THE RECEIVER IS NOT FREE.IT IS $4.99 ADDITIONAL PER MONTH PLUS SHIPPING CHARGES OF $24.99. This information was provided by Mrs. Georgia of GMG. AM I WRONG? :nw: :nw: :nw: :nw: :nw: :nw: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grk101 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 ^^Which is why I wrote "free" in quotations. :P I didn't know about the $4.99 monthly charge though, I guess I didn't get that far into the sales conversation with them. :LOL: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addynia Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Don't let them fool you. When they were offering the $50.00 initial fee for the receiver they were charging $29.99 for the MEGA package which was $19.99 for the channels and $10.00 for the receiver. Now they are saying the receiver is free but $4.99 per month. So in essense they charge $14.99 for the receiver each month. I am still waiting for them to tell me which are the 5 ΜΕΓΑΛΑ ΚΑΝΑΛΙΑ in the MEGA package. And by the way, why do they charge $24.99 for shipping and handling with UPS. When I sent back their CRAPY receiver with UPS I only paid $10.00. So they are also making another $15.00 per box. GREEK ΛΑΜΟΓΙΑ, I shouldn't expect anything less, should I?

Grk101 Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Just out of curiosity, has Home2US shut down completely? I noticed that they have no channels listed on lyngsat anymore, and when you Google their name in news for the last week you also find this termination letter for the Albanian package as well: http://www.top-channel.tv/pdf/TCH%20Channe...er%20Letter.pdf By the way, an almost identical termination letter about the Greek package was also sent out. The only difference is that the letter for the Greek package also included the number to Greek Media Group/Titan TV to call for questions and "the future of Greek TV in America" or something like that. Oh and the letter came AFTER September 30th in my case, even though it was dated September 17th.... :rolleyes: Pretty interesting that in both letters they seem to point the finger at the right holders deciding not to provide content. I think the Albanian and Greek packages were the only paid services they offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addynia Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 My letter came yesterday Oct 5th, dated Sep 17th with timestamp of Oct 2nd. The only channels I can get with the Home2US receiver are BVN and TRWAM and some promo labeled channels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKSat Posted October 6, 2012 Author Share Posted October 6, 2012 The transporters that Home2US was using on SES1,one for the Greek channels and the other for the Albanian channels are now both shut down. DKSat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellasHab Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 The only channels I can get with the Home2US receiver are BVN and TRWAM and some promo labeled channels Interesting that BVN is still at SES1, its distributed by Euro-World Network who used to have Croatian and Serbian channels on Home2US as well but moved them to Galaxy 19 awhile ago. I assume that BVN will be moved back to Galaxy 19 as well at some point, no sense having one channel on one satellite and all the rest on another. Co-incidentally, earlier in the year EWN was getting ready to launch an Albanian package (some of the channels were the same as the ones on Home2US), yet its no longer listed on their site- they have launched a FYROM package instead.

addynia Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Ellas TV was getting MEGA COSMOS from the Home2US satellite feed. Now that Home2US shut down MEGA COSMOS where are they getting it from? Directly from Greece as the other channels or from Intelsat 19, the Australian feed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grk101 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Not that it matters anymore, but I came across this: http://dockets.justia.com/docket/new-jersey/njdce/3:2013cv00200/283721/ It looks like there was a lawsuit filed by New Skies Satellites (SES) vs Home2us in January. Lyngsat doesn?t even list Home2us on SES 1 anymore. I think they are done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potato couch Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Well, it seems that MEGA COSMOS is now distributed by a guy from Pakistan. And this is not a joke!!! Has anyone have any explanation why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grk101 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 So what happened with GMG/Titan? And who is this new guy, and what does it mean for Mega Cosmos?? (and I assume all the rights GMG had) TheTruth, even though it isn't directly related to current Greek TV, do you know anything about the Home2US vs SES lawsuit I posted on the previous page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTruth Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 GMG/Titan had to transfer rights to someone else so that a deal with DISH could be reached. This is because DISH can't have an agreement wit GMG/Titan due to past issues. Home2US collapsed, because their Greek and their Croatian business collapsed, so they could not pay SES for the bandwidth. This business is very risky. One (Home2US, e.g.) has to lease satellite bandwidth with a closed contract by a satellite owner (e.g. SES) and then try to find the business to fill it up and pay the bill. Wekk, in reality, you don't buy unless you have some customers already, but you need to buy more than what you need at a specific time or else you cannot add any channels. If you buy on demand then a. you might not find any b. you have to ask your viewers to change their STB settings every now and then. So, you buy based on what you think demand would be. And, what happens if you lose the customers you initially thought would be the base of your business? You get a lawsuit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
