Astra
The Astra1 constellation of satellites is located at 19.2 degrees east of south, and are primarily used for transmitting to Europe. Many European countries use this satellite for their Pay TV services, including Spain's D+, most of the Canal+ services, and German.
Many channels are available for free on this satellite, but they do tend to be German. One bonus is the availability of a free Eurosport - although the language is in German.
There are a few free English audio channels of interest on Astra, that you can view on any generic digital satellite receiver. These include BBC World News, Sky News, The Travel Channel, The God Channel.
