There's been some other discussion on the events in this thread: http://www.tvforum.co.uk/tvhome/international-presentation-31435/page-23
Some posts of interest from the other thread are posted below:

The unions have vowed to keep the channels, both TV (three terestrial and one satellite), as well as EPTs radio networks on air, though they haven't specified how.
As I write this, the channels will all be off air (scheduled) in 53 minutes time.

ERT3 is on SW on 7450 khz strong signal
Euronews has a ERT One feed, however there are loads of ERT Net streams on-line showing the same pictures but with slightly differing coverage. Maybe more of the channels are re-appearing in some form?

Seems that a feed from the ERT studios is being retransmitted by RTVE 24 online

Another indication of the solidarity between European broadcasters - TVE (Spain) are rebroadcasting the channel on their website, too - http://www.rtve.es/noticias/mas-24/
Edit:
ah, beaten to it
Euronews are also showing the channel, but in less-than-quarter-screen and with no audio over the top of their normal programming. Not really sure what that's achieving, but ERT are a co-owner of the channel, so it makes sense that they would also be showing support.
Incredible story. Unprecedented, too - usually "state" TV is the only thing governments leave switched on in times of crisis!

On screen bug saying ERT is broadcasting on channel 11 (VHF) on analogue from Mount Parnitha - which if you've been to Athens is the huge hill behind the city with all the illegal tv transmitters along its ridge.

I guess they want to show the channel to show it is still on-air, and also to show it if it is taken off-air, or in other ways disrupted (say Police/Army sent in to shut it down)?

Yes, good point. The longer it stays on air, the more embarrassing for the government, so they will be keen to show they can stick around. Certainly looks like they have a lot of support outside the building, judging by the live feed outside ERT HQ.

This is the other stream in question: http://www.thepressproject.gr/live/44219/Louketo-stin-ERT
Its clear were all watching broadcast history in the making tonight. I highly doubt anything like this will happen again in a long time.

Although I suspect Mr Cameron is looking on just wondering if he could get away with it.
I see the Greek stations are funded through a tax collected via electric bills - so I guess if this is indeed a plan to save money the Government will be nicking that cash for themselves now as surely it was ringfenced.

Apparently not - as some of it was already being diverted to general goverment funding before the shutdown.
