EtosTV is a death-themed German satellite and Internet television channel, the first such channel in the world, created with the support of the German funeral home association.
The plans for the channel were unveiled in June 2007. It was due to start its broadcast in the autumn of 2007, but was delayed until January 2008. The channel aims to provide practical information about death, such as the various burial rites and also documentaries about famous graveyards. The channel plans to provide information for the elderly and inform them about life insurance, funeral insurance, home nursing services, and useful helps such as stair lifts.
The channel will be available on the Astra 1 satellite position (19.2E), and also on the Internet.
It will be also possible to purchase video obituaries, which will be broadcast by EosTV and on their web site for a fee.
Somebody tells you to go away, some people think that the world is not my place Unwittingly they bored me again, like a commercial break before the movie ends Somebody stops me from being me. Somebody says my career is over Of course it is, said somebody else, but it ain’t over till it’s over, I say Cause I will get to you, to you too, I will get to you, to you too. Somebody tells you to be yourself, somebody can’t recognize my voice, They say, they know me better than I’ll ever will and of course they bore me Someone experiments with my nerves, the other thinks my career is over Of course it is, says somebody else If I ever Get to you, to you too, I’ll not forget you. And what I want to say to you is, don’t be so blue, Be so very you, not only Jesus loves you, I guess I can love you, too What’s bringing me down, these million voices, before I get to you / What’s bringing me down, familiar voices
