Frequently Asked Questions

DVB-T to DVB-T2 Transition - Find answers to the most common questions

With the new HELLAS SAT platform operating on DVB-T2, you will watch the same channels but with better picture and sound quality. If your TV is older, you may need to retune it or use a DVB-T2 decoder.

The change involves upgrading the digital terrestrial television to a newer transmission technology. DVB-T2 is more modern than DVB-T and allows: • Better picture and sound quality • More television channels • More efficient use of frequencies

The transition to DVB-T2: • The Department of Electronic Communications of the Deputy Ministry of Research, Innovation and Digital Policy proceeded with a competitive process for the selection of a new platform, as the existing Velister license has now expired. In this process, the operation of the digital terrestrial television network was assigned by the Deputy Ministry to HELLAS SAT, with a new platform. The new platform will utilize DVB-T2 technology, which is the evolution of the already known DVB-T technology. • It is worth noting that the VELISTER network has been operating continuously for more than 16 years and, due to its aging equipment, was unable to meet both modern demands and ensure continuous and safe operation. For this reason, the transition to a new platform was deemed absolutely necessary by the Deputy Ministry, in order to ensure uninterrupted, modern and secure provision of upgraded television services to all. • Is a European and international practice • Enables future services (e.g., HD/Ultra HD) • Ensures better and more stable reception

The change will take place on July 1st, 2026. Until the end of June 2026 there will be a parallel broadcasting period with the existing VELISTER platform. Citizens will be informed: • through announcements • from the company website • through television and media • through social media
