What is the best satellite for English channels?
The main satellites that provide the UK with their satellite TV channels are the Astra 2 and Eurobird 1 satellites, located at 28 degrees east of south.
These satellites carry the main BBC, ITV, C4, Five and "Sky subscription package" channels for the UK.
They are not available on any other satellite system, and so the answer to this question is simple.
The best satellite for English channels is the satellite used by Freesat / BBC / ITV and Sky.
However....
There are obviously many other satellite TV providers operating in other countries. And many of these systems carry the same channels and prgramming as the UK TV service. For example, Discovery Europe sell a version of their Discovery CHannel to individual counties, so you have Discovery UK, Discovery France and Discovery Spain. In many cases the programmes orignal soundtrack is available, and so programmes and movies can be watched with their origninal English speaking audio soundtrack.
In fact, some UK and USA imported programmes are also avail;able in English on TDT - the Spanish digital services available via a TV aerial.
So now the answer to the question "What is the best satellite for English channels?" can be most satellites offer Ebnglish language programmes and channels, but if you want he main UK TV channels like BBC and ITV in Spain, then its the Astra 2 and Eurobird 1 satellites at 28 degrees east of south.
