Thanks Grk101!! :)

Here's a link from Facebook's Dish Network Greek TV page. I wasn't able to paste the image on the forum here. But if you click on this link, you will like it very much. :tup: https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1...826117199_n.jpg

Go to the forum topic "Mega Cosmos being added back to Dish Network". It was reported on Facebook on the Dish Network Greek TV page.

DKSat, do you have any info on a launch date of Mega's return on Dish?

I always thought Alpha distributed their channel on their own. At least someone mentioned they did on this forum. I could be wrong.

Maybe this is the reason the Greek Elite package is being increased from $24.99 to $29.99 around December 6. If DKSat says it's true, then I truly believe it. Will Star follow? RIK Sat is still available online for free.

This channel is a nice change since all the other networks' programming in Greece is basically a joke.

I wonder what reason ANT1 Prime was pulled. It was part of the deal ANT1 & Dish signed a year and a half ago. Dish must have had an escape clause for that channel or something.

Greek Cinema logo now appears on int'l page of Dish's site in a list alongside other newly launched int'l channels. Not listed on Greek pkg site yet.

Looks like the ANT1 website has shut down its ANT1 Prime page. But is this Greek Cinema channel even owned by ANT1?

Is it just me or are they playing the same movies in a loop? Hopefully it's just temporary, otherwise, it's like watching the movie channel version of GMTV. Remember them? Music videos in a loop.

Just channel surfing and noticed ANT1 Prime is now Greek Cinema. The change must have happened this afternoon because earlier in the day it was still ANT1 Prime and was playing a Proino Kafe rerun. Currently it's showing a Ρενα Βλαχοπουλου movie. DKSat, did you know this was coming?

How many boxes can you have? Or do you have to pay separate subscriptions for each box? Unfortunately that's what Wherevertv told me a while back. Is it the same for Ellastv?

What is?

Apparently I am not the only one.I have a 35 mbit connection with the only other device running in the house is a laptop. I never claimed that I had a problem with the connection or that the picture of the channels have any problem or that the picture freezes. I just said that some of the channels (MEGA COSMOS, STAR INTERNATIONAL, MEGA CYPRUS, RIK SAT and a couple of others have a video - sound sync problem. Either fix the problem or don't offer the channels in the package. Instead of developing/testing new features why don't you spent time fixing the existing ones first. The EPG does need some work. A simple channel/time grid will be perfect. Are you saying that we would have to get a TV from Kostovolos in Greece and bring it here in the US in order to watch our Greek channels? :) If Nova Eppegia( IPTV for Nova) costs $9.99 why does ELLAS TV cost $49.99? I have been with Dish Network since 2001. I never had a problem with them and surely if MEGA had not made the worst mistake by leaving them we wouldn't be having this conversation to begin with and everyone would be happy. And speaking of Dish Network for $24.99 you get all the channels you need, except MEGA of course but still with DVR capabilities and so on. So where is the "shark" part coming into this? A Dish Techician could be in my house the next day, free of charge, and fix any technical problem I might have. Would you ever have a technician come out for support? When I called and mentioned the MEGA COSMOS issue, the answer I got was "Hm that's strange, I am watching it here and it works fine". I am a software engineer and this is like saying to a Quality Assurance person that failed one of your items, "Oh it works on my computer". That's actually a inside developer's joke! I can leave with the Receiver / Remote issues but the video/sound sync problem would have to be fixed. And please display the channel number currently selected on the receiver, or have a display button that shows some information on the screen at least! Totally agree with you! :tup:

Excuse me, but Alter has been off the air since December. :unsure:

If he plans to add this content but at the same time keep also the stuff that's already on there, then I myself don't have a problem w/ it. Newscasts in English would be great because for me I don't understand a lot of the things they say when it comes to economics and politics. I hated the fact that ANT1 pulled their English newscasts off the air a while back.

ERT finally came to their senses. Anyway one of the most exciting voting processes since I've been watching. For a while you didn't know who the winner would be but in the end it was Azerbaijan. Other "winners" tonight were Italy who returned after a 14 yr absence and captured 2nd place, Sweden who experienced technical problems during rehearsals captured 3rd, Ukraine was a surprise with 4th place (the sand artist helped) and last but not least,

Just FYI, ERT did it again. :nono: They did not broadcast the 2nd semi final of the Eurovision Song Contest on ERT World. You know, they could at least make some sort of announcement but I guess that's wishful thinking on my part. Thank goodness my brother-in-law subscribes to Russian programming (he's Ukrainian) and was able to DVR the contest on Channel 1 Russia World (channel 2140 on DirecTV). There's also the option of the live stream on eurovision.tv but doesn't work well if you're not home at the time. Anyway, let's see if ERT does anything on Saturday but from the looks of it probably not. :gr:

The morning and midday shows were on as scheduled (Kafes me tin Eleni, Kous Kous, etc.). Was it just the journalists on strike? Eurovision is an entertainment show.

Does anyone know why ERT World preempted the broadcast of the 1st semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest yesterday? They showed nothing but documentaries during its 3pm-530pm time slot. I tried calling ERT directly several times, but of course no one picks up the telephone. I don't know why it was preempted. It was listed on the program guide. Luckily for me, my sister is married to a Ukrainian and they subscribe to Russian programming. The unfortunate part was listening to the Russian commentary. Don't know a word they said. Anyway, if anybody has any info, please post. Thanks. :)
