Its exactly one year until the remaining analogue channels are closed on 19E, so if you are still watching via an old analogue box you need to start thinking about moving over to digital!

Final closedown for anything that doesnt shut down during 2011 is 0200 uk time on April 30th 2012

Hi!

Just wanted to ask: I have three analog receivers by that time and I want to record all the closures on 5W and 19E. Is someone going to record this moments? Now I'm ready to record only three channels (one from Atlantic Bird, and two from Astra). I don't know, is it necessary to buy more receivers to record more channels?

Alexander.

Closedown of ALL the 19E channels? ;) 33 channels are now on air. I can write three of them :) And, maybe, more :) Another problem will be that I have only three dishes (all 60cm), and I don't know, if it is possible to connect two (or three) receivers to one LNB and receive several channels simultaneously (in the same polarity, of course).

The main ones - anyway there wont be 33 left on air by the beginning of April next year. Some of the small ones are bound to close later this year.

No wonder Granny looks confused; she appears to be flicking through the SRG channels. :D

No - although there are rumours some of the "small channels" may go in 2011.

There are several DVB Eurosport channels/ packages with English audio...but require subs.

Think that was 1L to 2C. 1H only carries digital channels.
