Channel affected by this mornings satellite swap
This morning the remaining channels on Eutelsat 28A were moved to the new Astra 2G satellite.
The channels were previously on a “European beam” with easy to receive coverage over most of Europe.
With their move to Astra 2, they have been placed on the UK spot beam, meaning some viewers in southern Europe may have lost these channels as their dish is not large enough to receive them on their new beam.
There is no indication as to whether this move to the UK beam is a temporary or permanent move.
But it is thought that some other channels will be shuffling satellites, and may be beams early July 2015 (2nd July is rumoured).
Here are the frequencies and channel affected by this mornings move:
11390 H 27500 2/3
