drakos13 Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I have heard about this channel and seen it in listings, but can somebody tell me about it? is it a pay channel (would be odd because its state sponsored right?) how do you get it (in greece) thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziaka Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 You can only get it in Greece. It's not a pay channel, but it is transmitted digitally, so you need equipment to receive digital signals to view it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kolossos Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Also make sure that the Digital signal covers the area of Greece your in when I was in Greece last year there coverage area isen't all of Greece yet.... If the signal does cover your area you just need a DVB-T reciever as Ziaka has already mentioned and you will pickup all ERT Digital channels :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziaka Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 so if i get a receiver i can get all the ERT channels digitally, No you can only get the 3 digital channels that are available from ERT: Spor+, Prisma+ and Cine+You don't get ET-1, NET or ET-3 in digital form, since they don't broadcast digitally.

drakos13 Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 You can only get it in Greece. It's not a pay channel, but it is transmitted digitally, so you need equipment to receive digital signals to view it. (old topic i realise) does anybody know what kind of equipment id need to receive the digital channels ? is there a simple digital receiver that can plug into the tv (no satelite dishes etc)? I have no idea about this stuff, but it would be quite nice to upgrade and finally get the Ert + Channels..... If anybody could tell me what equip I would need to do it, would be greatly appreciated.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genome Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Drakos, ERT Digital is currently available to approximately 65% of the population (mainly in Athens and some other major cities) but is expected to be available nation-wide soon. It is broadcasting Free-To-Air without any subscription cost, requiring only a generic DVB-T set-top box. Official site in English. Official site in Greek. I hope this somewhat answers your question. I think you still need an antenna (or possibly a dish) to connect to the box for a signal, seeing as there's no cable in Greece (afaIk). Maybe someone else can clarify :).

Grk101 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I was actually looking into this the other day, but I can't seem to find what the coverage area is, and any specific set top boxes on the Greek market. (at least on online Greek electronic stores like www.kotsovolos.gr) I also read that the Greek Government wants all channels to go digital by 2015. Most of the EU is going digital by 2012.

drakos13 Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 http://www.kotsovolos.gr/site/products.jsp...id=7562&flt=all like these type of things? or do i need to put a new one on the roof... i cant really find this type of box on there....

I don't think those are it. Like I said, I could not find any on any Greek online stores. I wonder where they sell them, and which ones specifically will do. They should look something like this I think: And here is a diagram I found on line on the set-up. (In Austrian I think): And here are different types of ways to get digital TV: (Set top box, a new TV with built-in dvb-t receiver, ubs computer Antenna receiver, and built in TV dvb-t receiver) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genome Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I think you can find these set top boxes in any electronics store... Try Praktiker or something or maybe Germanos they should sell these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grk101 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Thank you for the information. 30 euro is not much at all for a box. ;) It would be nice if ERT provided a coverage map. Does anyone know if one exists, or what other areas besides Athens and Thessaloníki get coverage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genome Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Does anyone know if one exists, or what other areas besides Athens and Thessaloníki get coverage? They only provide the following info at the moment: BROADCAST OF DIGITAL SIGNAL The pilot broadcast of the digital signal commenced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grk101 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Yeah, I saw that, but it seems outdated. I am surprised they are not up to date on stuff like that. The Greek version of the site seems very nice, but also does not provide coverage information either. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genome Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Well if you live in Athens or Thessaloniki I wouldn't worry. If you don't, I'ld try sending them a mail, there should be contact info somewhere on the site, asking them for more info (because indeed, the info seems outdated). :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
