TV5 Monde Europe is a quality station. It is in French, but the good thing is that it very often offers subtitles. Sometimes DVB subtitles (subt) in various languages and often English in ttx. I think that is related to teletext.
It was for many years on Hot Bird but disappeared all of sudden a year ago or two.
I got used to watch this station. Not many free channels on Hot Bird with such programmes.
There are many news channels in English on Hot Bird. TV5 Monde is not exactly a news channel.
I do not know how to have the EPG thing on my receiver (?)

Arte Francais is also on Hot Bird but it lacks English subtitles.

tv5 monde is also on astra1(19E ) and you have 2 versions and in HD!SeeKingofsat!
Tv5 europe has multi lingual subs,and better programs.EPG varies...
whereas the other tv5(FBS) aimed at France/Belgium/Switzerland)
only has some subs in French,like the BBC has them in English...
The "new" frequency is in SD (actually an old one rekindled)

"EPG varies" you say. I don´t get it how it is. Does one have to download some "add-on" onto the receiver to get the TV schedule ?
Some channels have maybe this EPG but my old receiver does not show more than the next program. Not possible to click on a program days ahead to be recorded.

yes the "tv5monde FBS " EPG only shows current and next(on astra 1 ,19E)
tv5monde EUROPE has a more extended EPG ,& its better certain days than others;
Big thing is,subtitles in 6 different languages available on progs that are not "live"

Yes, subtitles in 6 languages that are not "live". Russian among the 6, which was not before.
One can see that the "live" programs are of quality. The videoes from scenes not the same as on other news programs.
It seems that TV5 Monde Europe on Hot Bird lacks EPG and teletext.

For full EPG, it might be that some encrypted TV5 on another satellite has that.

I've done that in the past: put encrypted programms in my favorites list, just to be able to have access to the EPG.
Don't know which satellite carries TV5 encrypted with full EPG, though.

Correction: The subtitles are usually offered in 7 lanuages on Europe TV5 Monde on Hot Bird: English, French, German, Spanish, Dutch, Romanian and Russian.
Now it is Madame Bovary playing

I point the disc at Hot Bird. Do not have a motor to move it around to other satellites. Those motors, are they not heavy in maintenance, they can endure harsh weather ?

Europe TV5 Monde is showing some Cannes films with subtitles. At least two of them have the subtitles but not in English. Michael Kohlhaas and Carcon shiffon. The latter lacks also the German subtitles. Something to do with copyright. Strange.

Yeah. This was strange. Other stations were fine. This one is usually not the first to get blurred because of the weather.
