Hi Team,

I am about to embark on building my system, but then yesterday I read somewhere (another forum I think) that ITV was removed from Astra2d.

Even worse... when I look at the official SES-Astra website channels list, ITV2 is not listed as a channel.

However, on Lyngsat and Kingofsat sites all of the standards (ITV, BBC, etc) are listed.

There is no point in me investing in this system if I cannot get ITV and BBC channels. So can someone just confirm for me once again that indeed these channels are still all being broadcast FTA on Astra2D, and that with the suitable dish etc, that I will be able to obtain these?

Much appreciated.

6 of the ITV subregions were moved off Astra 2D a few weeks ago and went ftv rather than fta. All the rest of the ITV channels are fta on 2D.

In fact ALL the psb channels are now fta on Astra 2D!

Get building :D
