Changes in Cypriot Television: Transition from Velister to Hellas Sat
June 30, 2026
At midnight, Cypriot television enters a new era with the transition from Velister to Hellas Sat. Viewers must reprogram their devices or purchase a DVB-T2 decoder to continue watching channels. Older televisions that do not support DVB-T2 will need to be replaced or require a decoder. Cyprus has delayed digital transition compared to other European countries that made the switch earlier. The changes will allow for the transmission of more high-definition channels.
