Could you please help, it would seem BBC TV channels are no longer available on Astra 19.2E tuned from Dordogne, France although I could recieve then last week. Does this mean I need to direct my dish to Astra 28.2E and re tune my satellite box
9 years ago
Webmaster
That's because your dish in Dordogne was aligned to Astra 28.2º East, not to Astra 19.2º East. There are identical frequencies in use on both satellites.

Is it possible to receive the satellite signal for 28.2 and 19.2 on one satellite dish as I would like to see English and German channels. I have some reception on 19.2 but signal strength not strong enough for German channel reception. What do I need to do. Does the satellite need to be realign and if so to what position. And would I be able to watch this from two Tv's in different rooms?Does anyone know anyone in Edinburgh who could do this. Thanks

I am writing from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia( East Africa). I watch the BBc tv programs on Nile Sat and recently I encountered that the sound reception for the BBC program is so poor compared to CNN, France 24 tv channel, and other international tv channels. To listen to the news and other programs on the BBC, I have to add the volume of my 42 inch LG tv set to the maximum and when I switch to CNN or other tv channels the volume disturbs the whole neighbours. So, is there any mechanism in which you could improve its sound transmission to the standard with other tv channels ! thanks !!

Hi, I have just received back my oyster Vision sat box which has been re-programmed to find Astra 2. Upon reinstalling inside my Motorhome the dish found the satellite immediately. I have a maxiview DVB receiver, when I do a scan for stations from my home in U.K. I only pick up Sky channels and a few fta channels. No BBC or ITV. What am I doing wrong?

Do you pick up channels from transponders in the four ranges ? The four ranges: • Vertical Low (lower than 11700 MHz) • Horizontal Low (lower than 11700 MHz) • Vertical High (higher than 11700 MHz) • Horizontal High (higher than 11700 MHz) Transponders and television channels on Astra 2E/2F/2G 28° East

If you're forced to align the dish to Astra 19.2° East, you're forced to see channels of Astra 19.2° East (Sky News Intl, BBC World News Europe HD, NHK WORLD-JPN, Al Jazeera English HD, RT HD...). • Astra 19.2° East You need signals from Astra 28.2° East to get BBC One, BBC Two, BBC Four... • Astra 28.2° East Why are you forced ?

Hi, I am living in central Italy. I had a discussion with another ex pat who said that he was watching U.K. free sat tv on a 140cm dish. I know absolutely nothing about satellite TV other than it sounds a great idea and one that would help with average internet TV coverage. In words that a Beano reader can understand, what are your thoughts before I spend any money and where is the best place to buy the required equipment.

Using a free-to-air satellite system... 140 cm seems to me too small to receive the Astra 2E/2F/2G UK Ku-band Spotbeams in Abruzzo, but there are very few reports on the map above, I don't know. Contact a competent local installer and tell us your experience.

Torreblanca, Spain. 40.211143,0.20918334 on a 80cm dish - got sky with lnb quality 39% video/audio ok, bbc quality 38% video/audio not ok. Changed to a 120cm dish - sky quality now 47%, bbc now 43% video/audio ok. so far seems to be sufficient. Getting the dish properly aligned is a b*, millimeter work.

I'm just moving to a new house in Normandy, France and the satellite dish is tuned to Astra 19.2 With my new French Philips smart TV, which apparently has a built in decoder, the channel search has found over 1000 channels, none of which are for the French or UK main channels, but mostly German or other countries. I've also tried using an external satellite decoder, which has found nothing and strangely tells me to check my dish. I want to be able receive the main French and UK channels. Is Astra 19.2 the correct satellite to use and, if so, how can I receive the channels that I really want?
5 years ago
Webmaster
Main UK Channels are FTA on Astra 2 28.2° East, not Astra 1 19.2° East. Main French channels are free but encrypted (FTV, free-to-view) on : • Astra 1 19.2° East » you need a TNT Sat decoder. • Eutelsat 5W 5° West » you need a Fransat decoder or a Fransat CI+ module (inserted directly into a compatible television set).

I read on UK websites for expats that Barcelona has a "null" for the UK beam,so it s very difficult to get FTA bbc ther,when it s quite ok in Valencia,strange as it is...and it works well in Carcassonne 200ks as the bird flies...enquire with Brit expats(or teachers of English) in bcn!..

Hi Team, I’m in the northern Costa Blanca, small community with 2.4 m dish and 5/16 multi switch to a Humax Freesat. I lose BBC, ITV and many other channels in the evening although channel 4 is OK, have they changed satellites or do I need to realign my dish? Helpful suggestions would be really appreciated.

Is this up to date as there's no signal on 12129 v 27500 and this says it has yesterday and dave etc I tuned to freesat before but want to tune manually as can get lot more channels as I live with communal 2ft wide dish which connects to mutliple satellites. I just want a list of full frequencies that I can get north west England. But its very time consuming as there's frequencies missing off the TV tuners astra 28.2e but there'd also frequencies on there not listed on this website that do have a signal. Also I want to know if I get signal both dvbs and dbvs2 but site doesn't specify dbvs2.. Will selecting dvbs2 be adviced? (eg if I get signal on both will it work?

BBC has gone HD, and switched off most SD transmission on Astra as from 14 Feb 2023. There is now just one standard definition per BBC channel, and I can pick these up; but my channel search doesn't pick up any of the BBC HD channels. My box is HD compatible, and I pick up Channel 5 HD, but there's no sign of the BBC channels. So, questions: 1. Do you need a bigger dish for HD reception? I'm near the edge of the BBC Astra footprint. 2. Does the LNB need greater precision alignment? 3. Or is there some other reason why BBC HD channels are ot detected?

Since a few days, probably 14 Feb, BBC channels via Satellite Astra East say "no signal" (on 763,764,765) But I can still get ITV and Channel 4. What is the reason? I live in the East of France and no problem before. Help please?

Several BBC channels changed their frequency or ceased in SD. Have you an HD satellite receiver?

@patla Usually a DVB-S2 frequency needs a better signal than a DVB-S one. The signal can be improved with a bigger dish, more accurate dish alignment, more accurate LNB skew angle, replacing a faulty / inadequate for that dish / poor gain / high noise factor LNB...

We have a camping car with a satellite dish, French tv and a TNT card. Unsure of whether the receiver/ box is purely TNT or not at present. Will I be able to view English tv from this ? As long as the dish is tuned to Astra 28.2 ?

BBC HD now uses 30000 Symbolrate and 3/4 FEC with 8psk modulation which is much more difficult to receive. In Berlin a 1,5m dish does not suffice to pick up all transponder signals 24/7. 10847 as the strongest one works from 8pm to 2am only. Some transponder like 11025 or 11055 don't work at all, where as 11067,11096 Work for 2h a day.

BBC programmes seem now to have disappeared completely from our Satellite reception in Boppard Rheinland-Pfalz which up until now has been well within the Satellite reception zones in Germany. Is this also due to the BBC change to HD? ITV channels seems to be working ok still

Hi there, Do you know if it is possible to recive BBC channels and other Astra 2E channels in nothern Italy (Lombardy)? If it is possible do you know what dish size would work? I saw a few reception reports from a few years ago but I don't think they are applicable anymore. I am new to satelite systems so sorry if I am missing any important details.
