Yesterday 15-12010 is the D-day (digital day switchover )though in pilot 
stage  for nationwide  TV channels relaying in Thessaloniki. Most of the 
western part of the city including parts of  the north areas including us in  
Filiro and Retziki are now able to watch the 7 TV channels via  2 transmitters 
using MPEG 4 compression technology and COFDM mode.

The 7 TV channels are Ant1 Mega SKAI STAR MACEDONIA Alter and 
Alpha which last year  started a consortium  called Digea TV to promote the 
digital switchover  in Greece for the  commercial TV channels (separate 
from the national TV network). Thessaloniki is the second  point with Athens 
to follow in several months but in the first semester of 2010. First press  
release was on 16-12-09 and all members of the consortium started 
banners from the 1rst of  this year to inform for the digital switchover that 
just made from the point of Filipion central  part s of the city but on the 
mountain) but leaving the older main point of Hortiatis (E of the  city) still  
using analogue  mode

More for this including two coverage maps in this page 
http://www.digea.gr/news/details/3/8.html

As for now 15-1-2010 and 0700 LT the switchover has been completed  
using two  'transponders' on 25 and 29  for the digital format, previously 
used by Macedonia TV  ,  another (?? No info ) as  spare while all other  
freqs use a notification 

The full digital coverage is expected to be carried out by 2012 or 2015 

As per Digea  site , this is the second digital network system . The first 
transmission system  has installed in Xylokastro (near Corinth on 
Peloponisos )3 months ago and the next  system  will be installed in Athens 
Larisa and Patra 

It  should be noted however that the Greek national TV network ERT  is 
already transmitting in Mpeg 2 digital format in Thessaloniki  since mid 2007 
using the transmission facilities from  Hortiatis in the TV channel 56 using a 
special digital package with 3+1 channels (Prisma+ ,Cine+, Sport+  ,and  
RIK the Greek cypriot national TV channel)
.....

Tested my father in law's TV monitor  with built in decoder yesterday 15.1 
morning 0700 LT .  channel 25 was with 3+1 TV channels in the clear 
(Anntenna , Alpha Alter and spare ), while  ch 29  due to some in band-QRM 
showed halted or low-framed video (channels available  MAk TV , Mega Sky 
Star) , though today signal was 100% . This is possibly caused due to a   2 
antenna mixed system used so far to pick signals from the two main 
transmission systems.

The  TV set  with built in MP4 decoder offers better picture than an external 
decoder connected with SCART
