Freesat
All4 and 4HD leave Freesat We’re sorry to announce that All4 and 4HD will be leaving Freesat on Thursday 22nd February, 2018. We remain committed to bringing Freesat customers the very best content and hope to see the channels return soon. When are they leaving? C4 HD and All4 will be removed on Thursday 22nd February. What about other Channel 4 channels? Channel 4 SD, E4, More 4, 4seven and Film 4 are unaffected by the changes and remain available to watch as usual via the TV guide. How do I reset my recordings from 4HD to 4SD? You will need to manually reset any recordings on Channel 4 SD from 104 (120 in Wales) in the TV guide. Can I still watch old recordings from 4HD? Yes you can. All recordings set before February 22nd will remain saved to your hard drive.

Hi, what is the difference between channels you show shaded grey, dark green and white?... or am I being a bit dim? Cheers
7 years ago
Webmaster
If you're in UK you can ignore it. Abroad (France, Germany, Spain, Italy and so on) channels on dark green and white rows are easier to receive. • Dark green and white (Europe Ku-band): stronger signal • Shaded grey (UK Ku-band Spotbeam): weaker signal, bigger dish needed.

I seem to have lost both E4 and Film 4+1, they appear in my menu for Eurobird 1 with the correct TP frequencies and TP Parameters but are not available, they have disappeared from my Astra 2E listing as well, sorry qualify that, they are in the list but no longer work. Any ideas? mog

mog
I should also mention that Film 4+1 was listed under Astra 2F as 4187/22000/H and E4 was listed as 4172/22000/V under Astra 2G and working until only a week ago. mog

Webmaster
4187 ? 4172 ? Frequencies are between 10700 MHz and 12750 MHz.

Yes when I go to the satellite list (Astra 2F) and highlight the programme that is what is displayed underneath for Film 4+1 4187/22000/H and for E4 it's under Astra 2G as 4172/22000/V. I should say that my Freesat box is as elderly as me! it's a Fortec Star FS-4200. It has to be said that I've never found a co-relation between the first number and the numbers given on so many charts. I've tried adding the frequencies you have above to the TP list for Astra 2E but there are no stations there, any ideas? mog
7 years ago
Webmaster
A correlation exists: • 4187 MHz (V) - 4172 MHz (H) = 15 MHz • 10729 MHz (V) - 10714 MHz (H) = 15 MHz Anyway: • C-Band transmission frequencies are typically between 3700 MHz and 4200 MHz, like yours! (4187 MHz, 4172 MHz) • Ku-Band between 10700 MHz and 12750 MHz (Astra 28.2º E frequencies) Perhaps the antenna configuration (LNB) on your receiver is incorrect. By far the most common type in Europe is Universal LNB (which is Ku-Band, of course). Menu > Satellite > Edit Satellite > LNB Type: UNIVERSAL (?)

Don't know if can help.put maxiview dome on motorhome(tested with house sky box found channels, fitted to freesat v7 hd box but when salecting a sat it dose not have astra 2 only eutelsat 28A(28.2)(tryed a scan but nothing found)has astra 1&3 plus lots of others, how do I install astra 2
6 years ago
Webmaster
Eutelsat 28A (28.5º East) was nearly co-located with Astra 2 satellites at 28.2º East. Anyway in your case, you must select Eutelsat 28A(28.2), but you have to check the controller configuration, usually 4 transponders: • Low band Horizontal polarization • Low band Vertical polarization • High band Horizontal polarization • High band Vertical polarization For the UK you can choose UK or Europe beam transponders. For Europe, preferably Europe beam transponders, stronger outside the UK. DVB-S is easier to lock than DVB-S2 and compatible with old controllers.

@Charles Halhead Sorry, I did not understand your comment. Your automatic antenna Maxview apparently is ok. If your Free Sat V7 (not a Freesat receiver, but Freesat channels are FTA) can perform a scan with NIT (Network Information Table) option, add one correct transponder on Eutelsat 28A (28.5º East) list and scan channels with NIT option activated.

Hello again, firstly my apologies for the delay in responding, I have been away. Thanks for that input Webmaster regarding the correlation between C band and Ku band frequencies, I've just had a look at the "Antenna Setup" page, and there is no setting to select Universal as the LNB type, rather when I scroll through the satellite list, 2A,2B,2C and Eurobird 1 are listed under LNB Frequency as Universal(9750-10600), the remaining three satellites are set at LNB Frequency 5150. Interestingly enough the two channels I lost seem to have returned! E4 is now 4187/22000/H on Astra 2E and Film 4+1 is now 4172/22000V on Astra 2E, it's all very confusing to a simple soul like myself! mog

With my HUMAX Freesat receiver, I generally get a good picture on 99% of the channels. However, the reception of Talking Picture channel(306) is very poor - the picture is all broken up. Why is this? Is the signal strength of this particular channel low? I look forward to your reply.

Is there a website with a list of all channel/transponder moves for the year 2018? I use windows media center with epg123 on a 16 tuner windows 7 box, a clean media center scan is not on the cards as it takes hours to wade through the regional channel ordering and numbering. I know C4+1 moved and i have dealt with that. Movies for men +1 has become a religious channel so that needs dealing with along with S4C and several others.

I'm in central France on Astra 19.2°est and have a TNT card. Can you tell me what do I need to pick up English TV? Many thanks
6 years ago
Webmaster
Two options among others. (1) Last (now) comment here: TNT Sat (2) Install a second dish pointing at Astra 28.2° East, a DiSEqC switch, configure your TNT Sat receiver and scan for non-TNT Sat channels on Astra 19.2°E and Astra 28.2°E. You will get all Freesat channels listed above, because they are FTA. These non-TNT Sat channels will be stored from number 1000 onwards.

A bit to the left of the middle of France, installing brand new TV and HUMAX HDR1100s. Using the TV to set up the dish because it shows full details. TV says I have 100 per cent strength and quality on most channels and 90+ per cent on a few of them, inclung those with a grey background in your table However, if I transfer the coax cable to A HUMAX box input socket, HUMAX insists there is no signal at all. I tried plugging the HUMAX box in place of a neighbour's existing system and it works there so nothing wring with my new box Any suggestoons?

In Benidorm (Spain) you can receive all Astra 28.2° East transponders: gray (UK Spotbeam) and green (Europe beams). Perhaps with a 120 cm dish properly installed, certainly with a 150 cm dish properly installed. Contact a local installer. Astra 2E UK Spotbeam reception (real approximation)

Hello I have recently purchased a new LG tv with built in freesat, i plugged in the dish and everything is fine however i cant recieve any of the BBC HD channels and other HD channels seem to be scrambled. Is there a magic touch with satellite TV?
5 years ago
Webmaster
Probably you have an antenna issue. Most of HD channels are on transponders modulated in DVB-S2. They require a better signal than those modulated in DVB-S. Channel 5 HD is an exception: • 10964 MHz H 22000 5/6 DVB-S BBC HD channels are on two DVB-S2 transponders : • 10847 MHz V 23000 3/4 DVB-S2 8PSK • 11023 MHz H 23000 3/4 DVB-S2 8PSK

"I have no connection such as cable, dish." Freesat is a satellite service, it requires a satellite dish antenna aligned on Astra 28.2°E and a cable. Those parameters are useless without satellite signal.

Need help as new to Sat TV. I am on a ship which has facility for Sat TV. Basically the ship's run between Rotterdam via Kiel canal to St. Petersburg and back to Rotterdam via Skagen ( north). We on ship want to watch UK channel ( BBC/ ITV/ Sky/ other English channels) free. Is this possible??We would be grateful if you could provide us Satellite name/ angle/frequency/polarization/symbol rate/etc to tune covering the area of our ship's run. Vessel is equipped with an Intellian t110W global satellite FTA TV reception system (World View Universal LNB/dish DIA 105 cm/DVB-S2 Decode capability). Shall eagerly await your response.

Maybe you can receive: • Free BBC/ITV/Ch4/Five channels, that is UK Spotbeam on Astra 2E/2F/2G 28.2° East, from Rotterdam to approximately the Kiel Canal. • Free UK secondary channels, that is European beams on Astra 2 28.2° East: ··· European beam on Astra 2G from Rotterdam to St. Petersburg (or near St. Petersburg) ··· European beams on Astra 2E/2F from Rotterdam to Baltic Sea • Satellite name and angle (i.e. longitude i.e. orbital location): Astra 2 28.2° East • LNB LO FREQUENCIES: Universal (Low：9.75 GHz, Heigh：10.6 GHz) A choice of transponders among others: VL » 11479 MHz V 22000 kS/s 5/6 DVB-S Astra 2G EU Beam HL » 11082 MHz H 22000 kS/s 5/6 DVB-S Astra 2G EU Beam VH » 12207 MHz V 27500 kS/s 5/6 DVB-S Astra 2F EU Beam HH » 12148 MHz H 27500 kS/s 5/6 DVB-S Astra 2F EU Beam

Maybe in the Baltic Sea or in the Gulf of Finland only with a low range channel will the antenna eventually find and track the satellite, and only channels on Europe Beam Astra 2G could be watched there.

Sorry new to this. Sat tracker dome in motorhome not picking up any Freesat HD channels. Are the above frequencies posted two months ago the most up to date and will they enable HD Freesat channels Thanks

Webmaster
Where are you ? How big is the dish (or its gain) ? What is the brand and model of your system ? The above frequencies posted two months ago are always valid. They will enable to find, identify and track the satellite. If the antenna is big enough to pick up all frequencies, you will be able to watch all Freesat channels, SD and HD.

Please can you help with receiving FTA channels in West Germany (Cologne)? We have a dish set up for German and Italian channels which are all working now, but the Sony Bravia tv I use seems overly complicated and I can't seem to get a signal out of Astra 28.2. The setup requires a high and low band frequency as well as a choice between vertical and horizontal, Transponder Frequency and Symbol Rate. Sorry for the beginners question but I can't seem to find this anywhere. Thanks.

Webmaster
German and Italian channels, so two LNBs (a monoblock or two separate LNBs?): • A lot of FTA German channels » an LNB adjusted for Astra 19.2° East required • Some FTA Italian channels » an LNB adjusted for Eutelsat Hot Bird 13° East required Example (two separate LNBs for German an Italian channels on one dish): Two separate LNBs Astra 19.2°E and Hot Bird 13°E • A lot of FTA UK channels » an LNB for Astra 28.2° East required Do you have an LNB for Astra 28.2° East correctly installed and adjusted on the same dish or on a separate dish? If your LNB for Astra 28.2° East is an Universal one (if not, check the LNB documentation): • LNB Low Band Frequency » 9750 MHz • LNB High Band Frequency » 10600 MHz Normally the default values are for Universal LNB. "as well as a choice between vertical and horizontal, Transponder Frequency and Symbol Rate" It must be to show signal measurements (strength and quality) of the satellite. But these measures may vary from one transponder to another. For example, a DVB-S and UK-Spotbeam one: • Polarity » Horizontal • Transponder Frequency » 10714 MHz • Symbol Rate (SR) » 22000 kS/s In the above table you have the transponders used by Freesat (DVB-S and DVB-S2, on UK Spotbeam and Europe Beam), and their parameters (frequency, polarity, SR...). Don't forget to set up the correct DiSEqC switch position for that LNB.

Thanks webmaster. Unfortunately on those settings I couldn't pick up anything at all even with full signal. I'll get a satellite technician out to see if I need a new LNB or something in order to pick the channels up from the UK. Thanks for the in depth advice.

Hello. I have a 1.50 dish pointing to 28.2E. I can pick up most channels but only from frequencies 11000 and above. I have tested with other lnb's that on another dish work fine and used the same satellite receiver. Any ideas as to why i can't pick up that signal? Thanks

Webmaster
150 cm? Where are you? Maybe you pick up only EU frequencies (Europe beam), not UK ones (UK Spotbeam). Can you pick up any of the Astra 2E UK / Astra 2F UK / Astra 2G UK frequencies (TP) listed above? For example : • 11307 MHz V 27500 Astra 2F UK ··· Sony Action, Sony Movies, Sony Classic, Sony Classic+1, Tiny Pop... • 11426 MHz V 29500 Astra 2E UK ··· S4C HD, FRANCE 24 HD, FreeSports HD, QUEST HD

Please put the frequecies in the list as well as the Channel number. FreeSat at 28.5E I used to be able to receive PBS America on Frequence 11344 but until recently (about Feb. 2021) I can no longer receive it. Other channels all work well. Any help on this??? Many thanks.

Live in South east UK. Just installed new sat dish, aligned to Astra 28.2E, cant get any signal on Samsung QLED smart TV, are all transponder frequencys automatically covered by the TV? What other settings are needed, ie. LNB, should the DiSEqC be on or off? etc. Any other info appreciated. Would value your help, thank you

Is the satellite dish antenna correctly installed and aligned to Astra 28.2°E? By a professional installer? If the LNB is an Universal one, set LNB to Universal (normally the default settings). If you have one dish with one LNB and no DiSEqC switch (a device to switch between several LNBs on multi satellite installations), set DiSEqC to Off.

I am looking to receive Formula 1 Live or slightly delayed coverage (FTA), last year I used an old Humax box, and tuned to RTL (not sure of the astra satellite name), but they have stopped doing the live coverage this year, any suggestions? Kind Regards Paul.

I am near Nice. I have a 1.2m dish and use a Satlink to align and have cleared all trees etc. I now have a collection of six Universal LNBs all with the same nominal spec but all give different responses for different channels. Main concern is Dave/Alibi/Eden: the strength is 60%+ but signal quality is about 30% and falls in the evening and I lose the channels. Can you explain this or suggest what I can do? Thanks

Hi Im in the Midlands (UK) I have just set up my Freesat bax and aligned to Astra 28.2 E. In my list of satellites I get Astra 2a/2b/2c but not 2e/2f/2g. I can get loads of channels, all in Russian, Arabic or Turkish but nothing in English. Why cant I pick up the E/F/G?
4 years ago
Webmaster
First of all, pointing the satellite antenna at Astra 28.2° East. If you get Russian, Arabic or Turkish channels, your satellite dish antenna is pointing at Eutelsat Hot Bird 13° East, Türksat 42° East or at another satellite with these channels. Astra 2A / Astra 2B / Astra 2C are no longer at 28.2° East, your Freesat box must be rather old (an SD one?). Astra 2D and now Astra 2E / Astra 2F / Astra 2G replaced them. Anyway picking up the TP 11426 H 27500 2/3 DVB-S Astra 2E 28.2°E signal your box could create the Freesat channel list.

I live in the Lot, France about 100km north of Toulouse. I have a samsung tv receiving from a 50cm dish all free to air channels from Astra 2E except BBC, none of whose channels work at all or are very badly pixelated. All other channels are good. Any suggestions very much appreciated.

Some ideas: more accurate dish alignment, set the skew angle correctly, install a bigger dish, a clear unobstructed view of the satellite, replace a faulty or inadequate or poor gain / high noise factor LNB, check connections, cable, call a professional installer...

I have attempted to realign my satellite dish due to some breakup on Freesat channels, plus the complete loss of the main ITV channel. Using a GT Media V8 finder I appear to have a reasonable signal from Astra 2 satellites, but when I do a channel search on the V8 all I get is about 300 mainly German channels and no UK channels at all. Can anyone suggest where I might be going wrong please.

You have misaligned your satellite dish. It is now aligned to Astra 19.2° East (German channels...), not to Astra 28.2° East (UK channels...). Several ITV versions changed their frequency recently: • ITV ITV FTA satellite channels

Im watching Freesat on Astra 2E from Alicante. When the new GB News channel starts broadcasting, what will I have to do to receive it? Will I need to retune?
4 years ago
Webmaster
Freesat on Astra 2E, Astra 2F and Astra 2G, the three co-located satellites at 28.2º East. GB NewsGB News HD on 216 (channel number assigned automatically on Freesat certified devices), frequency: • TP 11307 V Astra 2F UK-Spotbeam Is your satellite dish big enough to pick up UK-Spotbeam in Alicante (Spain)? If so, and your devices are HD, you can receive GB News HD. If you receive 302 GREAT! movies or 603 POP, you pick up UK-Spotbeam, or at least TP 11307 V (GB News HD, GREAT! movies...). 216 GB News HD is to launch on Sunday 13th June at 20:00 BST / 21:00 CET (Spain time), but the channel is already started showing promotional loops. If your device is only FTA, not Freesat certified, you need to launch a scan.

Hi, Just installed in Germany and receiving all UK Freesat channels fine on Samsung TV DVB-S tuner. Question: EPG is very spotty for most channels I get a few hours data at most, never the next day or beyond that. I have noticed that you have to select the channel in the guide sometimes to get any EPG at all. Is there a fix for this? Can I tune to a particular channel to get a better EPG update?

I live on the coast in Normandy, just north of Caen. I have suddenly lost reception of BBC 1 SD, ITV SD and BBC 2 SD as well as some other channels BBC 1 HD and BBC 2 HD and ITV HD are fine, as well as some other channels. Reception in general has become very poor/loss of signal in rainy weather. Any idea why? I have a Manhattan S2 satellite box which has, up till now, served me very well. Thanks for your help.

i m in Carcassonne south france just checked this morning,some versions of bbc sd have indeed sunk below watchability,but my basic one (BBC CI for 1,London for BBC2) work as usual...you get aa strong signal,so close to St Helier...must be your dish pointing or cable connection... the ex-wimbledon channels seem to have gone,I thought they would show olympics...but not!

Indeed, in Normandy the signal is very strong. Seems like an installation issue. Maybe the antenna is not accurately aligned.

Hi, I am between Bordeaux and Toulouse with a 1.1m dish with generally good reception using a Humax Foxsat receiver. Some channels are not available and I want to readjust the dish to include those that were available a couple of weeks ago when I changed the dish. It looks as though I need a satellite finder capable of tuning to individual transponders to do this. The GT V9 or Satlink WS-6906 are about the right price - do either of them have the Astra 2 E/F/G information preinstalled. Do you think either of these would do the job? If you don't think so, perhaps you could recommend an alternative or tell me what I should be looking for when choosing a meter which I shall only use for the Astra 2 satellites.

Hello. I've not been using my satellite TV for a number of years due to getting TV over fibre. I've retuned my Humax-HDR, Humax-HD & Panasonic TV and all give the same results. That is 'No Signal' for all but about 3 of the Vertically polarised channels. I've only looked at a few so far on the table at the top of this page, but some listed there are ones that do not work for me. I'd be very grateful if you can you shed any light on the cause. Many thanks.

W is now on freesat, worth manually tuning in the +1 as it gives you Dave ja vu, Drama+1 & Yesterday+1 as well.

Pick+1 seems to of disappeared from Freesat. Have tried 2 different boxes, tried manually tuning, maybe it's encrypted now. Might have to get my FTA & Sky boxes out of storage.

I live between Benidorm and Denia, Spain. Until recently I used a Humax Freesat HD decoder. I have now discarded that and am using the Satellite connection on my Samsung Smart Tv Q60R. How do I locate all the Freesat Channels. I am missing quite a few including UK regionals.

How do you measure the signal? Which transponder did you use to find the satellite? UK-Spotbeam transponders are weaker than those from Europe beam in Southern France. "0.1 dB" normally is marketing hype. Better a suitable LNB for that (unknown) dish. Do you know the technical data of the dish? Prime focus or offset? What brand and model of LNB do you have?

@ col I live in carcassonne you ll need a 120cm dish 2Galli is a good provider of satellite stuff here to catch astra 2 use the Sky News signal it s the strongest onPan european beam. Then,adjust with the weaker BBC 1,2 ,3,4beams ITV hd seem to be the weakest. Make sure you start with Pan european beam,and later adjust with UK beam and choose what you want to watch...

I agree. 2GALLI is a good French supplier: • 2GALLI Materiel technique Antenne [2galli.fr] Bruno from 2GALLI has knowledge and can guide his customers. Sky News (FTA SD): • TP 11836 H 27.5 MS/s 5/6 DVB-S Astra 2E Europe Beam • TP 12070 H 27.5 MS/s 5/6 DVB-S Astra 2E Europe Beam

Your list of Stations on Freesat does not show TalkTV transmission Details. Displays from Freesat on our Panasonic TV's (2013 & 2019) Tuning Data: Astra Frequency 11427MHz, V, 29500Ks/s. Does Not display a signal on the Panasonic PVR (2010) from Freesat Tuning Data: Network ID 003B, Transport Stream 0844 Sat Lock Indicator Not Locked. The Frequency Range of my PVR states is from 9750 MHz - 10750MHz so seems that Talk TV Channel is beyond my tuner range. However, BBC HD uses 10847MHz for 1,2&3 and 11023MHz for 4 & News & ITV1 12227MHz (your table shows 12363) but these channel display ok on PVR. Any thoughts on why TalkTV does not display on my PVR.

Hi we’re near Stuttgart, and have had good reception of all Freesat channels for years, but have problems now receiving some of the HD channels, especially in the evenings. Now they are changing from SD to HD I am worried, what is the reason for the problem with HD. Thanks
2 years ago
Ann
@Jane. I live in The Hague. And I find that HD channels are very sensitive to minimal atmospheric changes. Rain, Hail, Snow are often a problem. No recording or constant blocks. So I always record from the SD channels. And keep the HD channels in my list next to the SD version to watch when there are no disturbances of any kind. A solution I do not have but now you know it is a common problem.
