Athens, 17th October 2011 – A new era begins for pay TV services in Greece. OTE presents its
OTE TV Via Satellite service and is integrating all of its pay TV services under one brand name, OTE
TV.
OTE TV via
Satellite
OTE TV Via Satellite is here to complement, in the best possible way, OTE’s pay TV
services, making OTE TV available everywhere in Greece at affordable prices.
OTE TV Via Satellite has more than 40 channels, 8 of which are High Definition without additional
cost, and is available in 2 theme packs:
 Family Pack – The basic service includes:
o Free-to-Air analogue and digital channels,
o Channels with TV series and movies (Universal, Fox Life, FX and Sundance Channel HD)
o Sports Channels (Eurosport HD, ESPN America HD, Eurosport2, Extreme Sports, ESPN
Classic)
o Documentary Channels (National Geographic Wild HD, Discovery, Discovery Science,
Discovery ID)
o Kids Channels (Disney Channel, Nickelodeon HD, Kids Co, Baby TV)
o Lifestyle Channels (TLC, Fashion TV, World Fashion, Style TV)
o Music Channels (MTV HD, Mad Hits, VH1, C Music TV)
o News Channels (Euronews, Deutsche Welle, Bloomberg, France 24, Al Jazeera etc.)
 Full Pack – This includes the Family Pack channel and also OTE’s well known sports
channels, OTE Sport 1, OTE Sport 2 and ΟΤΕ Sport 3, with exclusive sports content, and the
new sports channel, OTE Sport HD, with sports events in High Definition among which the
Greek Football Cup, the Spanish, Italian and German Football Championships, Formula 1 etc.
Furthermore, free-to-air channels in standard and high definition are available from the Eurobird 9A
satellite, from which OTE TV is broadcasted. Also, if terrestrial digital television is available in the
area then the OTE TV decoder can also be configured to receive the other free-to-air Greek
channels, without any additional equipment.
Signal reception is achieved through a satellite dish, a decoder and a subscriber card. OTE TV Via
Satellite does not require a fixed telephony connection. It is intended for OTE customers who
cannot receive OTE TV Via Conn-x, as well as to all households, even if they do not have a fixed
telephony connection.
The decoder and the satellite dish can also be installed by OTE, through a network of authorised
installers. If you already have a satellite dish, which is used to receive other satellite services, then
a second dish is not necessary.
For professionals (e.g. restaurants), OTE TV has created separate ‘Professional Packs.’
OTE TV via
Conn-x
The well known ‘Conn-x TV service’ is renamed ‘OTE TV via Conn-x’ and from now on
the channels shall be available through the above theme packs, Family Pack, and Full
Pack1. OTE TV via Conn-x is the most technologically advanced form of TV signal
transmission provided through an ordinary telephone plug and broadband connection. Consumers
get to watch TV channels with a digital image, while the OΤΕ Cinema-on-Demand and OTE Club-onDemand (Video-on-Demand) services allow them to choose their preferred content (movie
premieres, TV series, music videos, documentaries, travel guides, etc.) and watch it any time they
want.
