Now that the Astra 2D satellite is no longer in service, it was time to change the name of the Astra 2D site to reflect the changes that are occurring to the Astra 2 group of satellites at 28.2° east. This site has changed in name only and will continue to offer news and advice on British TV and...

My Innovation can not use DiSEqC, it is stuck on 1 satellite. Even then, it can not find all the channels with no signal on the higher transponders. It has the latest software. Has anyone had the same problem and could you fix it?

Has anyone managed to get BBC iPlayer to work on Freesat Overseas? Yes, I know you need a VPN, but do you get the Freesat receiver to work with a VPN?

I am trying to put a page together with all Sky, Sky+ and Sky+ HD manuals in one place. There are still many I have not been able to find, so if you have one of those missing, please mail it to me at the Astra 2D website. If you know of any models not listed or have any corrections, please let...

Believe it when I see it, anyway we can easily watch online these days with or without a vpn.:)

Your best option is to watch online, Malta, like southern Italy, seems to be in a signal dead zone. Take a look here if you want some more advice: _http://astra2d.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=TV&action=display&thread=1143 Also see this, it works at present for free...

Freesat is doing quite well, considering the current climate. Don't forget they said Freeview would be a flop years ago, it is now the biggest digital platform in the UK. Those who spread these rumours, want to kill off the competition, now who could that be? There is room for both, $ky (if...

Don't think it will ever happen, one would think ITV had learnt from past mistakes and not get involved with $ky.

Even with you Channel Islands postcode you should get ITV1 London on channel 977. This has been provided for those in the Channnel Islands, Northern ireland and Scotland, whos local regions do not carry ITV HD.

Bubble Hits on 503 has closed due to lack of revenue, still on Freesat's EPG.

Freesat have today announced the forthcoming addition of Five onto the platform on Tuesday 18th November 2008. Since launching in 1997, Five has developed a strong reputation for a wide mix of entertainment, documentaries, features, news, sport and children’s programmes. The channel’s Autumn...

Very disapointing move by RTÉ, not sure what they are up to. They might aswell just pay the extra copyright and make RTÉ One & Two FTA!

It will not be November 5th, confirmed by Five today in an email, no date yet, though it will be on Freesat in November.

It is not just the encryption & copyright issues, but a lack of space on Astra 2D. Only Five will be appering on Freesat this year. Yes there are plenty of encrypted channel on Sky that could move, though Sky will not be doing Freesat any favours. There is also quite a bit of simucasting/Tests...
