IPTV Cyprus: Cypriot and Greek channels together
For Cypriots in London, Melbourne or Nicosia: the Cypriot channels and the Greek ones in a single programme guide.
Updated November 2026 · 5-minute read · written by the Greece IPTV team
In short
Greece IPTV includes a Cypriot group (RIK 1, RIK 2, Sigma, Omega, ANT1 Cyprus, Alpha Cyprus) next to the Greek national channels, so one subscription covers both. Cyprus is on the same time as Athens all year.
One guide for two countries
Cypriot families follow both: the RIK news and Cypriot football, and the Greek series and shows. In the app, the Cypriot and Greek groups sit next to each other, with the programme guide for both.
For Cypriots abroad
Most of our Cypriot customers live in the UK and Australia. The UK page and the Australia page have the time tables for those countries.

- Internet of 15 Mbps or more per screen.
