Yes it is digital, have alook here and try setting your stb to a strong transponder, I think the west are stronger than S1 beams. I personally have not been on that sat for months so cannot advise you really although I would mention remember to twist your lnb (skew) approx twice what you do for Astra 1.
Also remember what angle the signal arrives at the dish
