2nd of the 3 NEW satellites is live

The NEW Astra 28E satellites
THE FACTS February 2014
Until recently the UK TV content carried by satellite has been spread over 5 satellites with 7 different footprints; this will be significantly simplified this year as the 3 newly deployed satellites will have 2 similar footprints (plus additional African focused Ku-‐band & Ka-‐band data transponders). The indications are that the majority of un-‐encrypted “terrestrial channels” content will be broadcast on the UK beam and the majority of subscription content will be carried on the Europe beam.
The winners: UK users will have increased resilience against weather events causing signal quality degradation. Subscription customers in Southern Europe are likely to receive more of the subscription channels.
The losers: Customers in mid-‐southern Europe (Bordeaux – Valencia) who have been able to receive terrestrial channels in the past that will no longer be able to. People further south will already be used to the limited availability of free-‐to-‐air UK content.
The latest generation satellites from Astra, designated 2E, 2F, & 2G each have Ku-‐band UK beam & Europe beam for transmissions of UK TV content as well as data services
The UK gets stronger satellite TV signals
The broadcasts are designed to cater for the 60+ Million UK residents, unfortunately a few
thousand mobile & ex-‐pats are not the focus of this service. Content rights are also a major
factor.
Why are they moving it away from me?
