Update: From 10 October 2026 private TV channels start moving gradually to the new DVB-T2 frequencies. Velister's old system is not switched off all at once: small transmitters go first and the large ones follow. The aim is to finish before Christmas, with no exact timetable announced.
2-minute check
Before you buy, check your TV.
If your TV already supports the right standards, it may only need a channel scan. A decoder is needed when the TV does not support DVB-T2.
We don't guess from your TV's age or brand. The check is based on what its specifications say.
Question 1 of 3
Does your TV support DVB-T2?
Look for “DVB-T2” in the specifications, the manual or the channel-scan menu. “DVB-T” without the “2” is not enough.
Question 2 of 3
Does it also support HEVC / H.265?
It is usually listed in the video specifications. Not sure? That's fine: carry on.
Question 3 of 3
Have you tried an automatic channel scan?
You most likely need a decoder.
The new platform broadcasts in DVB-T2. A TV that does not support it cannot receive it on its own. A DVB-T2 decoder connects to the TV with HDMI and solves this, without replacing your TV.
No HDMI cable? Choose the package with HDMI. Want less setup work? Choose the ready & preprogrammed one.
Let's find your TV model first.
You'll find the model on the label at the back of the TV, in Settings → About, or in the manual. Search the model together with “DVB-T2” or check the manufacturer's specifications.
You can also try an automatic channel scan: if it finds the HELLAS SAT channel, your TV already receives the new platform. If you find it only supports DVB-T, you need a decoder.
You don't need a decoder.
Your TV supports DVB-T2 and finds the channels. If you lose channels as old transmitters switch off, just run another automatic scan.
Try an automatic channel scan first.
Your TV supports DVB-T2, so it most likely just needs to find the channels again. From the menu: Settings → Channel scan → Automatic → Antenna. Don't buy anything before you try this.
If the TV does not support HEVC/H.265 and some channels don't display properly after the scan, a DVB-T2/HEVC decoder can help.
Before buying, check your antenna and settings.
According to Hellas Sat, most problems are solved by checking antenna direction, cable quality and connections. Some TVs need the country setting changed. You can also try a manual scan on channels 35 and 48.
If your TV does not support HEVC/H.265 and the above doesn't help, a DVB-T2/HEVC decoder may solve it. A decoder does not fix antenna or cable problems.

In plain words
What does the decoder do?
DVB-T2 is the new digital terrestrial TV standard in Cyprus. Older TVs don't understand it.
HEVC / H.265 is modern video compression for high-definition channels.
The Mania 828 receives the signal from your antenna, “translates” it and sends it to the TV over HDMI. Your TV simply shows the picture.

3 or more decoders? Save 15%.
The discount applies automatically to the whole product total when your cart has at least 3 decoders, from any package. Ideal for homes with several TVs or the whole family.
Do I need a decoder?
Only if your TV does not support DVB-T2. If it does, an automatic channel scan is usually enough and you do not need to buy anything. Take the compatibility check in two minutes.
Do I have to replace my TV?
Not necessarily. A DVB-T2 decoder connects to the TV you already have via HDMI and lets it receive the new signal.
What are DVB-T2 and H.265?
DVB-T2 is the modern European digital terrestrial TV standard used by the new platform in Cyprus. HEVC / H.265 is a modern video compression format for high-definition channels. The Mania 828 supports both.
Can I use my existing antenna?
In most cases, yes. According to Hellas Sat, the new platform broadcasts from the same sites. If you have very old cables or a signal booster, a technician may need to check them.
What does each package include?
- Decoder (€25): Golden Media Mania 828 decoder, Remote control, Power adapter. No HDMI cable included. Ideal if you already have one.

What does “preprogrammed” mean?
The decoder arrives with the channels already programmed, so there is less to do at first setup. Reception depends on your area and antenna, so in some cases a new channel scan may be needed.
When is delivery free?
Delivery is free across Cyprus for orders of €30 or more, after any discounts. The “Ready & preprogrammed” package always ships free. Smaller orders pay €3 delivery.
