The C5 family of channels are on the point of leaving Astra 2C 10964H. Their new home will be Astra 2A south beam 12422H 27500 2/3 encoded in Videoguard as usual.

10964H Astra 2C switch off is imminent - 2C is moving to 31.5E in a few days. The AstraVision test channel was switched off earlier today

You wont get all the UK Public Service Broadcast channels but there are a few available away from Astra 2D if you know where to look.

I use the manhatten sky satellite receiver box after a blind search it picks up all the variations of channels I live on the fringe of the astra 2D beam in slovakia to watch all my channels this box works well it is especially design for to watch low symbol rate channels such as bbc itv etc and my sky viewing card well free to air viewing card works straight away when you put it in the box no need for pairing up of the sky viewing card to a sky digi box.

Many thanks for that info. Just remind me, what is the difference between FTV and FTA, which needs a SKY card??

FTA programming is unencrypted (clear), no card required. FTV requires a sky viewing card and is encrypted.

skytvman can you give us more details on your set up. I also live in Slovakia and am interested to know what size/type dish you have and receiver model number which picks up astra 2d channels, especially BBC? Thanks

The C5 Wales sub region moved to Astra 2D on August 18th. Anyone with a Welsh card will lose the channel if you dont have access to 2D

No.

The list was recently updated and is current.

If you cant get Astra 2D then you have to do without those channels.

If you want them either put up a bigger dish or move west :D

Not just over in the Canaries in the west either. There's a report on Astra2D from Malta about loss of C4. This might be for a different reason though as he was getting the Irish version.

In Malta too, Channel 4 and 4+1, TTon4 and E4's i believe are all getting the message service can not be found and looks like nowhere near getting the signal.

When having problems through interference we would usually get a broken picture... at the moment can't get a signal at all

Oh goody goody goody goody marvellous marvellous marvellous, I can't wait to see Jeremy Kyle delayed - nevertheless top stuff AnalogueSat - definitely deserves an "Analogue forever" (digital picture quality might be better, but Analogue will always have better "programme quality")

My Satellite dish is a generic 90cm dish, with Sky box and Skycard (digibox - Thompson). Computer is not connected to the Satellite, just a Laptop, Sony VGN FZ31M running Vista 32.

Czech Republic, Ostrava (far East of country)
I just popped back to see if any more channels had been added to the list of those that can be viewed by 'back door', but sadly none that I was looking for :-) You guys are great for keeping this information going and up to date. Before I joined here, I was sure I would never be able to get ITV, Channel 4 and More 4 etc egain. I also watched Wimbledon through the 503 BBC News back door, much to my wife's delight (she loves sport) so thanks for bringing a little Britain (though not 'Little Britain) to a forgotten corner of Czech!

Paul.

Thats a nice comment - thanks loaded :)

Pop back occasionally - the main list in post 1 will be updated as and if anything changes. Hopefully the next big one will be ITV1 +1 launching on 2B south.
