No, you can't. FTA BBC and ITV are broadcasting on Astra 2 28.2° East, not Astra 3 23.5° East.
A satellite set-top box running Android operating system?
It doesn't matter, BBC and ITV are FTA on satellites Astra 2 28.2° East.
First of all thank you what a great website.
My question is I have a Dutch customer who has bought receiver over to France for Canal Digitaal which is fine and I believe this to sit on Astra 3B. The problem is I can’t find it lol, I can find astra1 and astra2. I have a good tester which for this satellite I have had to program up with all the transponders (it’s à Cahors stm26 had DVBT-T2/S-S2/C) I know cables, LMB and dish are ok and the line of site to be fine. Is it user error on the tester if so what might it be?

Indeed, Astra 3B 23,5° Est is the main satellite for Dutch Canal Digitaal:
• Canal Digitaal
The art of pointing a parabola with a spectrum analyzer.
• Main menu » Satellite » Spectrum
• F1 button to change Polarization to Vertical
• F2 button to switch 22 kHz signal on (very important 22 kHz on with Astra 3B 23.5° East)
Astra 3B 23.5° East is located between Astra 19.2° East and Astra 28.2° East as you know, find the signals between both satellites, and check the content of a known and easy vertical transponder, for example:
• TP 12168 V 27500 Astra 23.5°E
··· Frequency and polarization: 12168 MHz Vertical
··· Symbol Rate and FEC: 27500 kS/s 3/4
··· Modulation: DVB-S
··· NID and Network Name: 3 ASTRA 3
··· FTA channels: Ocko TV, Ocko Star, TV Lux HD, SES Demo, Chamber TV HD, RTL Tele Letzebuerg 23.5, TELEIPPICA 1 and TELEIPPICA 2.
Don't confuse with:
• TP 12168 V 27500 Astra 28.2°E
Or:
• TP 12168 V 29700 Astra 19.2°E

Thank you kindly, funny after sending the message I found it.
These so called satellite finder apps are good for general locations
I found the satellite just off of Astra 1, like just touch the parabola.
Thank you again for a great website, it has saved me many hours.
Now I have to do the same on the property of the client, wish me luck as there are many trees, which means I have to raise the dish or re position it?
