analog satellite in 2022

[astra 1D]

Hi i have acquired an analogue satellite receiver from the attic and i wondered if there are any analog satellite channels left.
I know that Astra turned off is analog system in 2012.

I think that only for Brazil it is also broadcast in analogue

Satellite Channels on Star One C4/D2 at 70.0°W

This mornings scan of 70.0 West - Vertical signals are the strongest with me here in Central UK. I'm tempted to get out my old Echostar LT8700 and see if it will see anything analogue...

There are no analogue satellite tv channels receivable in Europe on any sensible sized dish. As you say the last remaining European channels were shut down in 2012. Unless you have an interest in playing with Videocrypt encryption(*) the best thing to do is dispose of it in the WEEE recycling skip at your local tip.

(*) search the forum for the recent videocrypt thread if you are

The bloke who could see 70W in the Midlands was using a 2.2m dish & the signals were very weak - you arent going to get a big enough dish in a 40sq feet garden

The dish would be near vertical so there is a small chance a 4.5m (15') could fit in the space on a king post with little overhang

Thats the old 5W bird. Analogue closed down off it a decade ago! Even AB3 has been pensioned off!

There are NO analogue channels left broadcasting to Europe.
