Driving past a TX site the other day which broadcasts DAB (BBC, D1 and SDL) it had a satellite dish on the side, what satellite would it be getting its feed from ?
 
Could be 28.2 east, 11425H 27500 - talkSPORT Dist, D1 DAB, SDL nATL & BBC NDRA are all on there.
 
nothing showing on Lyngsat or king of satellites website, where did you get that information from >?
 
My old Humax Foxsat HD finds them (but can't open them), This site lists them:

They may also still be on 4.8 east see:

They're all on 28.2°E as @ozumo says - they're also on 9°E 12092H (which replaces 4.8°E 12303 where they used to be until a few months ago) which I think is the main feed for them as they only appeared on 28°E later on. This transponder on 9°E (formerly Astra 4) is also used to feed the remaining BBC AM transmitters (for local radio etc.), as well as TalkSport and Absolute's AM transmitters.
 
Odd that the broadcasts from Astra 2, and 9E are not on Flysat, yet Hispasat is (only know this since I caught the Spanish DAB + transmissions during a 30W search yesterday - 12530 V ).


It is a dying servce though, a lot of countries have refused to take it up, many more have tried and found it non-profitable

Those ones on Hispasat aren’t actually DAB+. I think someone has confused them with it because the tool to decode them is part of eti-tools which are the tools used for the DAB satellite streams too.

The Hispasat Spanish and Portuguese ones are just standard AAC audio but as DVB-IP (so inside an IP tunnel over a PID). These are just feeds for FM in Spain/Portugal as far as I’m aware. Rádio Comerical (and maybe some of the other Portuguese ones) has the FM RDS data in the IP packet headers in the stream.
