Slovak television viewers face changes to their viewing options as commercial broadcaster JOJ ends free-to-air transmission via antenna. This means those relying on conventional antennas will soon need a paid module or card to continue watching JOJ’s channels. however, not all channels are affected – some, like STVR and TV Lux, will remain freely accessible for now, while a wider package of channels will be available through a new paid subscription.
STVR Channels Will Remain Free

STVR channels and TV Lux will remain free-to-air for now. the paid package includes channels such as CT1 HD, CT2 HD, JOJ Cinema HD, JOJ Sport HD, JOJ World, JOJ Sport 2 HD, TA3 HD, Sport 2 HD, JOJ HD, Markíza HD, Doma, Dajto HD, Markíza Classic, Markíza Krimi, Nova Sport 1 HD, Sport 1 HD, Prima SK, Prima Cool SK, Viasat Explore, Viasat History, Viasat Nature, National Geographic, Jojko, Minimax, AMC HD, MTV 00s, Senzi TV, Vixen, and, starting in the new year, Plus, Wau, and JOJ24.

New customers can access the service at a very low cost. It also includes many other channels.
A terrestrial broadcaster is seeking to persuade free-to-air television viewers to switch to its Plustelka pay-TV service. The incentive is a price of less than one euro per month for the first three months. Towercom, the operator of the Plustelka platform, has launched a new promotional offer aimed at attracting viewers who will be affected by the upcoming end of free-to-air broadcasting of channels from the JOJ Group via antenna.
Viewers who want to continue watching JOJ, Plus, Wau, and JOJ24 channels via terrestrial broadcasting (DVB-T) will need to subscribe to a paid service. To attract these viewers, the operator is offering a Plustelka Standard package subscription at a promotional price of €0.99 per month. This rate applies when activating the service for the first three months.
A Module or Box is Required
While the operator emphasizes the low monthly fee, switching to the paid service requires an initial investment. According to the terms of the promotion, the discount is only valid when registering a new device that has not previously been registered for Plustelka.
Customers who previously watched free-to-air broadcasts and do not own a decoding device will need to purchase one. The price of a CA module on the service’s website is listed as €36.90. If a viewer needs a separate set-top box that supports the DVB-T2 (HEVC) standard, the device costs €46.
The promotional service fee is a one-time payment of €2.97 for a three-month period. The offer is valid until December 31, 2025. The standard list price for the service after the promotion expires is currently €7.99 per month.
