Grk101 Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) Is ELLAS TV closing down ? apparently do not have the rights !!!!! public records here http://www.plainsite.org/dockets/2lmy4gv2k/new-york-eastern-district-court/ellas-tv-inc-et-al-v-titan-television-llc-et-al/ I will loose my Novasports :( The files are behind a paywall, but it looks like the lawsuit was initiated by ELLAS TV against TITAN for "Fraud or Truth-In-Lending", not the other way around. Titan controls the international rights for MEGA COSMOS, ALPHA SAT, STAR INTERNATIONAL, 4E & RIK SAT. This isn't the first time people from TITAN are involved in a lawsuit over these channels.... Without being able to look at the files/complaints, at worst, my guess is they would loose any international version of these channels.... TITAN is the least of their worries...... By the way, TITAN also used to list SKAI and EPSILON as rights they control, now they are mysteriously gone from their website......

greekstream Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Here in Canada they advertise that they have the rights to all stations they broadcast, not that I care but if they don't sooner all later will loose the sport stations Thanks . Yes you are right Titan had the right to mega cosmos as far as I know. And maybe partners at some point in the past with EllasTV ...and something went wrong there . Thanks for the info.

greekstream Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) After the poor Greeks got the letters from dishnework to pay up ellasTV got a letter too...it is a classic method that dish has used before to scare people; they did it before when people where using hacked dish cards back in 2000 to watch their programming , some people get scared and pay , some fight it and win , but what a hassle.. my question I have no idea how they got the names from EllasTV ? https://dockets.justia.com/docket/illinois/ilndce/1:2016cv04813/325986 DISH Network L.L.C. v.

gyros Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 So I need to be prepared, what are the alternatives when this thing goes down because there is no way these guys are going to win again Dishnetwork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grk101 Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 It appears it is over SPORT PLUS, which DISH has exclusive rights to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyros Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 It appears it is over SPORT PLUS, which DISH has exclusive rights to. So the lawsuit is about Sport Plus and not the service... Hopefully thats the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greekstream Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 It appears it is over SPORT PLUS, which DISH has exclusive rights to. Just find out that antenna / Antenna Satellite based from NewYork they are suing them also .. Anyway he has made a lot of money and I think he can fight them off , NOT so sure for Dish....They are strong, .....but anyway they only asking back 110000 for each subscriber he currently has :) for losses. Yes you are right it looks like is over the SPORTPLUS station . Good Luck , and i need to be prepared to look around for new provider , my gut feeling he is going to make it because he is a KARABINATOS ....apate...nas like very well pointed earlier in this forum by another member ;the kind of person perfect for this line of work. and Again If we are talking about the same guy that used to own The CD store in Chicago that is the owner for EllasTV. He has been in this kind of situation with the law numerous times. he is bullet proof :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greekstream Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 (edited) I forgot...to mention .. Be careful of ZAAPTV they are currently working with ELLASTV on the satellite stations they apparently they are authorized from EllasTV to support and sale Megacasmos etc... all Greek American satellite stations witch means if you buy their boxes.... that are prepaid and usually last for 1 + year ....you may loose sooner then you think the stations if the outcome from ellastv / dish court proves to be negative. FUNNY how life turns around people........... ELLASTV had sued ZAAPTV back in 2010 over those stations , that must say something for both owners this days......

Blackhawk Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 and Again If we are talking about the same guy that used to own The CD store in Chicago that is the owner for EllasTV.

greekstream Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Yes Mario Pappas is the same guy that ran the CD store and Ellas TV.

Grk101 Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 Looks like Ellas TV "bought out" rival IPTV companies TV Cosmo and Astera TV. http://tvcosmo.com/ http://asteratv.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soprano76 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Hey, so I just bought an Apple TV box. What are the best and cheapest ways to watch Greek tv channels? I see an app for Hellas TV go for 15 dollars, but is there also a monthly subscription attached to that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Last time I checked their web site the monthly subscriptions were $39.99, $49.99 and $69.99. That was before their lawsuit with Dishnetwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soprano76 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Interesting. I believe there was a free app on the iOS store called Greek Live TV but all indications shows it has been removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 All those shady IPTV services are always one lawsuit/police raid away from being terminated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
