NOVA Greece is a Greek digital satellite pay TV platform owned by Multichoice Hellas. It was launched in December 1999. NOVA offers Greek subscribers an array of international and domestic programmes (including news, sports, movies, music, children's programmes and general entertainment channels) plus the majority of popular Greek terrestrial TV channels along with a number of Greek terrestrial radio stations. International programmes are offered in their original soundtrack, with Greek subtitles. Some interactive services like games, cinema & theatre listings, lottery numbers, news headlines and weather reports are also provided. On April 14, 2008, Greek telecommunications company Forthnet acquired Netmed, parent firm of NOVA Greece.〔(Business finance news - currency market news - online UK currency markets - financial news - Interactive Investor )〕 In 2010, Nova Greece had 363,679 subscribers. In March 2012, Nova Greece had 391,252 subscribers. HD service counted 52,968 subscribers in 2011, an 86,8% rise from 28,356 subscribers in 2010. == Technical information == Nova broadcasts in standard definition using the DVB-S MPEG-2 format and (since September 2010) in High Definition using the DVB-S MPEG-4 format through Hotbird 8 satellite at 13°E.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Eutelsat Hotbird 8 )〕 The service is encrypted with Irdeto conditional access system. Until recently the subscribers had the option of buying a specific set-top box, or using any DVB-S Irdeto enabled set-top box, but since September 2009 new subscribers are only allowed to use the company's own set-top box. This change of policy has raised some significant controversy. Nova has also introduced a PVR service, accessible only through a (different) specific set-top box. This service requires an extra subscription fee but also provides the subscriber with the option to watch two different channels on two different TV sets in the same household. Nova channels are also available through the IPTV service of On Telecoms. On Telecoms subscribers can sign up to watch all the channels offered by Nova but have to pay a separate fee for that service. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「NOVA Greece」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
