In short
In the United Kingdom, Greek IPTV brings the Greek and Cypriot channels to any smart TV, Firestick or phone over your broadband. The UK is always two hours behind Athens, so Greek prime time at 21:00 is 19:00 in London, perfect for watching live.
Greek and Cypriot, side by side
Many British Greeks have family roots in Cyprus. The line-up puts the Cypriot channels (RIK, Sigma, Omega and others) in their own group next to the Greek ones, so one subscription covers both sides of the family.
What you need in the UK
- Broadband of 25 Mbps or more; most fibre plans are well above that.
- A Firestick, Android TV box, Apple TV, or a Samsung or LG smart TV.
- An IPTV app such as TiviMate (Firestick guide).
- A Greece IPTV plan, after the free test.
The easiest time zone abroad
With only two hours of difference, you can watch the Greek main news live before dinner and the Super League in the evening. Students in Britain can follow the same shows as their families in Greece at almost the same time.
Time difference
Athens time in the UK
| In Athens | London, Manchester, Edinburgh |
|---|---|
| Morning show 08:00 | 06:00 |
| Main news 20:00 | 18:00 |
| Match 21:00 | 19:00 |
| Late show 23:30 | 21:30 |
The UK and Greece change clocks on the same days, so the difference is always two hours.
