    If Astra 1N is moving to 19E, will the Germans in the Canary Island lose any of their channels? Is 1N an addition at 19E or replacing an old satellite? I told some Germans last week that they can receive their channels on a 1.2M dish when they are over in March. Don’t want to misinform them.

    No Channel 4 in Fuerteventura on 12480V

    We have just lost Channel 4 and 4+1 in Fuerteventura, Canary Islands on 12480V. The Digibox is displaying the message “No satellite signal is being received”. It’s not just us, several other people in Fuerteventura are reporting the same problem. Is this happening anywhere else?
