Titolo: The Greek satellite scene

The Greek satellite scene 
Hornet cards have been available for the Greek digital package on Hot Bird for
some time now. The only catch is that, for the last few months at least, these
cards do not actually work. The Nova package consists of about 20 channels,
but though it has been broadcasting for about two years, it has not officially
launched and official cards are, therefore, still not on sale in Greece. This
means that Multichoice Hellas, owners of the Nova package, can perform as many
ECMs as they like without risk of knocking out their own customers’ smart
cards. In fact, Multichoice perform about 6 ECMs per day- so the Hornet cards
are next to useless for the Greek package. 
The Nova package is expected to be on air officially before Christmas and is
expected to continue  using the Irdeto encryption system. The package will be
directed at the Greek market for copy right reasons, so anyone living outside
of Greece will have to purchase an official card via a friend in Greece or one
that has filtered through to a supplier abroad in the same way that official
Multichoice Holland cards have been appearing. The other alternative will be a
Hornet card which will also have a built in 12 month expiry. 
The Nova package will consist of two 24 hour film channels, Filmnet and
Filmsat, both of which are broadcast in English with Greek subtitles. There is
also a  sports channel,  SuperSport, which shows a variety of European
sporting events but concentrates on football and basketball with a Greek
interest. Several Greek private stations will be on the package including
Antenna and Mega as well as international channels such as CNN, Discovery and
Animal Planet. A number of Greek radio stations will also be available. Nova
currently plan to charge about £30 a month- so official subscriptions will not
be cheap. 
Though, nothing is yet certain, it does look as if a second rival Greek
digital package will launch lead by Greek private station Alpha Skai together
with Intersat and perhaps the Greek public broadcaster ERT. This package is
more likely to be encrypted in Mediaguard- though whether this will be in the
Seca format is far from clear. 
At the moment there are 4 free to air Greek language television stations
broadcasting to Europe. They are ERT International from Greece (broadcasting
in analogue and digital) and Cyprus Sat (in analogue only) from Cyprus, which 
includes programmes from Cypriot public broadcaster RIK as well as from the
island’s private TV sector. There are, in addition, two digital SCPC stations
from Greece: Alpha Skai and Mega Cosmos, though the latter appears to be
merely a test broadcast.

dolcetto
o ... o scherzetto?
Quando cala la notte
delle streghe
esci e danza al chiaro di luna
vestiti di nero
e non farti dire da nessuno
che sei troppo vecchio
per un dolcetto
o ... o uno scherzetto!
 
Auguri
