As part of the agreement between Eutelsat and SES, and as part of the satellite renewal program at 28 east, many channels are changing frequencies, as they are moved between the satellite.
Included in these frequency changes are BT Sport, Discovery channels,
Viewers with Sky and Freesat receivers: Frequency changes should be handled automatically by the receiver.
Viewers with other satellite receiver may have to perform a rescan to continue to view channels that have changed frequencies.
List of channels and affected frequencies (so far!) can be found here : http://www.satandpcguy.com/blog/2015/06/uk-satellite-tv-channels-changing-frequencies/

A list of the channels and frequencies affected by the recent "satellite shuffle" between Eutelsat 28A and Astra.
A list of the channels and frequencies affected by the recent "satellite shuffle" between Eutelsat 28A and Astra.
Below is a list of the channels and frequencies affected by the recent "satellite shuffle" between Eutelsat 28A and Astra.
Note that for some people in some areas of Spain, channels on the Astra 2F UK beam may be unavailable, as your satellite dish may be too small to receive these frequencies.
As a general rule of thumb, if you can receive Channel Five, then you should be able to receive those other channels on Astra 2Fs UK beam.
If you are struggling to receive those channels on the Astra 2F UK beam, then it may be possible to search for the channels on their "Final" frequencies, as some of the channels are actually operating on their final frequencies.
On a Sky box, you simply go to the "Add Channels" menu option, and then add the channels to your Sky boxes "Other Channels" list, accessed via the Services Menu.
Hopefully by the 10th October, all channels will be on their final frequencies, and the Sky Guide and the Freesat Guide channel lists are all correctly "mapped" to the new frequencies.

Sky / Freesat channel changes - many channels moving satellites from Eutelsat to Astra
Over the last day or two, some people with Freesat or "free to air" or "generic" satellite receiver, may notice that many of the "cheaper" channels are no longer available.
This is nothing to do with new satellites, more to do with old agreements.
The changes to many channels today and yesterday as the channel are moved from the Eutelsat satellite to the Astra satellites - as mentioned a few days ago in our blog : http://www.satandpcguy.com/blog/2013/09/some-uk-tv-frequency-changes-over-the-next-few-weeks/
This is part of an agreement, where by some of the frequencies that were allocated to Eutelsat, hav now been reallocated to Astra.
Sky boxes should automatically update the channels to the new frequencies.
Freesat boxes should also automatically update the channels to the new frequencies, but this will usually be done during early hours housekeeping. However if you want these channels back now, you simply need to perform a new Freesat rescan (usually Menu, Install)
For users of "non sky and non freesat" receivers, like "free to air" or "generic" satellite receiver, if you want these channels back you simply need to perform a new search / scan of the satellite - usually from the main menus "install" options.

This is nothing to do with new satellites, more to do with old agreements.
The changes to many channels today and yesterday as the channel are moved from the Eutelsat satellite to the Astra satellites - as mentioned a few days ago in our blog : http://www.satandpcguy.com/blog/2013/09/some-uk-tv-frequency-changes-over-the-next-few-weeks/
This is part of an agreement, where by some of the frequencies that were allocated to Eutelsat, hav now been reallocated to Astra.
Sky boxes should automatically update the channels to the new frequencies.
Freesat boxes should also automatically update the channels to the new frequencies, but this will usually be done during early hours housekeeping. However if you want these channels back now, you simply need to perform a new Freesat rescan (usually Menu, Install)
For users of "non sky and non freesat" receivers, like "free to air" or "generic" satellite receiver, if you want these channels back you simply need to perform a new search / scan of the satellite - usually from the main menus "install" options.
Keep up to date with the many frequency changes on our forum : http://www.satandpcguy.com/forum/showthread.php?91374-Important-Sky-TV-and-Freesat-TV-Channel-Frequency-changes-and-updates

UK / Sky / Freesat channels move to temporary frequencies ready for a swap between satellites
UK / Sky / Freesat channels move to temporary frequencies ready for a swap between satellites
As we mentioned a few days ago ( http://www.satandpcguy.com/blog/2013/09/some-uk-tv-frequency-changes-over-the-next-few-weeks/ ) some channels on Sky and Freesat will be moving frequencies.
This is because some of the frequencies the channels are currently transmitted from are being moved from the Eutelsat 28A satellite to Astra, as frequencies in question have been reallocated from Eutelsat to Astra. The changes affect services that have previously broadcast via the Eutelsat 28A satellite using a frequency band that rival SES (Astra) now claims as its own to use from the 4th October 2013.
The matter continues to be fought in the courts, but a recent ruling in Germany resulted in Eutelsat being told to stop broadcasting services in the contested frequency band by 4th October.
Consequently, services are now being transferred from Eutelsat to SES Astra's fleet of satellites.
These changes should be unnoticed for Sky and Freesat users, but some users with "generic" free to air receivers may have to perform a rescan should they lose a channel.
The changes will mean that viewers with generic free-to-air satellite receivers will need to retune twice in the coming fortnight to continue receiving all available services, and to regain access to any missing channels, but viewers with Sky and Freesat should see little disruption to their service, with both satellite TV operators working hard to ensure that their Electronic Programme Guides automatically redirect receivers to whichever frequencies are currently in use.

Some UK TV Frequency changes over the next few weeks (Oct 2013)
Over the next few weeks, some UK TV channels will be moving frequencies (and satellites).
These changes should be unnoticed for Sky and Freesat users, but some users with "generic" free to air receivers may have to perform a rescan should they lose a channel.
These changes are nothing to do with the new UK TV satellite Astra 2E ( http://www.satandpcguy.com/Site/astra_2e_satellite_reception_testing_news_updates.php ).
Basically UK TV come from satellites operated by two companies, SES Astra and Eutelsat. Recently, some frequencies currently used by Eutelsat, have been allocated to SES Astra.
This means that the channels on those frequencies will be affected. Some channels may simply move to new Eutelsat frequencies.
Other channels may move frequencies and satellites, from Eutelsat to Astra.
One such case is RT- UK SD (Russia Today) - http://www.satandpcguy.com/blog/2013/09/rt-sd-russia-today-satellite-frequency-changes-coming-soon/.
It looks like many changes will be happening, on both Astra and Eutelsat satellites, as channels on existing frequencies are shuffled around to accommodate these changes - which is probably the reason for this spate of channel frequency changes ( http://www.satandpcguy.com/forum/showthread.php?91374-Important-Sky-TV-and-Freesat-TV-Channel-Frequency-changes-and-updates&p=122133&viewfull=1#post122133 )
These changes should be unnoticed for Sky and Freesat users, but some users with "generic" free to air receivers may have to perform a rescan should they lose a channel.

RT SD (Russia Today) - satellite frequency changes coming soon
Due to some satellite changes, some UK channels will be moving to a temporary transponder / frequency from September 30.
They will them move again on October 4 to the final destination transponder / frequency and satellite.
For RT-UK SD (Russia Today UK) , this means:
Sky users, and Freesat box users should see the changes handled automatically by set-top boxes, with no viewer action required.
However, people with generic Free-to-Air satellite receivers will have to do a rescan at each transponder change.
RT-UK SD (Russia Today) : Frequency changes:
Until September 30: Broadcasting as now on Eutelsat 28A, 11.623 Horizontal. Symbol Rate 27500; FEC 2/3. (txp D9S)
From September 30 to October 10: Broadcasting on Astra 1N, 12.401 Vertical. Symbol Rate 27500; FEC 2/3. (txp 36)
From October 4 onward: Broadcasting on Astra 2F, 12.610 Vertical. Symbol Rate 22000; FEC 5/6. (txp G8) [NB. Change to Symbol Rate and FEC]

Can I receive Spanish TV using my Sky digibox?
Simply no.
Firstly Spanish TV is now digital. It is transmitted terrestrially. Sky boxes do not have a digital terrestrial tuner. Sky boxes only have an analogue terrestrial tuner. So you cannot receive Spanish TV using my Sky digibox in Spain if you connect it to a TV aerial in Spain.
More on TDT - Spanish Digital Terrestrail TV here
Secondly, a Sky box cannot manage other encryption services. Most Spanish channels on satellite use a different encryption system to that used by Sky. So the Sky box cannot physically read a viewing card used to encrypt Spanish satellite TV.
A Sky box is designed to boot up and start to work using data from the UK TV satellites at 28 east. However, Spanish TV is transmitted from Astra 19.2 East and Hispasat 30 West, which do not carry the data required to boot up a Sky digibox.
If you want to watch Spanish TV via satellite then you will require a Canal+ dish, box and subscription.

TVE Internacional on Astra
TVE Internacional is among several channels that will cease broadcasting on June 30 on ASTRA 19.2 ° East
A bouquet of eight free-to-air channels on the Astra position at 19.2 degrees East is set to cease transmissions by the end of June 2010, according to a scroll bar currently showing on these channels.
The multiplex consists of TVE International, RAI Uno, M2 Monde, TRT International, TV 7 Tunis, RTP International, Canal Algerie and Al Masriya and is part of the CanalSat offer. No official reason is given for the end of the service, but insiders believe the Canal group needs the capacity to expand its HD offer for French viewers.
Most of these channels are also available free-to-air on other satellite positions.
TVE Internacional is available Hot Bird position at 13 degrees East.

TDT via satellite - interesting survey results
A recent survey saw that an overwhelming 98% responded that they wanted a Satellite DTT as in other countries.
Many of the current problems of TDT reception are due to grey areas, where TDT signals are either very weak or nonexistant. In Spain 1.5% of the population live in these TDT grey areas, which rises to over 35% if you count areas bloccked by buildings. A total of more than 2 million households would receive NO TV in a position today and another 3.5 million million have pixilation, Fadding or white noise along the coast.
This could be solved by TDT by satellite
According to the latest survey on satellite DTT, 97.7% of Internet users who responded to the consultation want access to TDT channels via satellite for free, as in most European countries, such as France, Italy and the UK (Freesat).
Unlike in Spain, the governments of these countries have opted for open models in the distribution of DTT by the alternative pathway of the satellite, making it easier for all who want access to this modality.
The result is that any French citizen, English or Italian has only to approach a distributor (dealer or supermarket) to buy the receiver and the corresponding card (if required - not in the UK, but in France - TNTSAT) for a price of around 100 euros.
Another difference is that in these cases the package is available by satellite is the same as the land based transmitters and includes the HD channels and pay channels.
In Spain access to satellite DTT is much more restricted because we have to go to an installer approved by Abertis and meet certain requirements and procedures, which lengthen the process and make it expensive: The installer goes to the user's home (which should be in shaded area) to check that there is no possibility of receiving the TDT signal and draws up a report submitted by Abertis. Abertis gives its approval and delivery to the user keys that can unlock the receiver and the card (also approved by Abertis). Once these unlocked, the installer returns the address of the user to proceed to the final installation. The average cost of a satellite installation of DTT in Spain is around 400 euros.
In addition, each receptor is only for a TV and its reception capacity is limited to two transponders on Hispasat.
The survey, which was attended by 8545 Internet users, giving results very clear about how you should distribute satellite DTT in Spain:
- 8348 people, 97.69% of participants want a cheap satellite DTT and free access, as in other countries.
- 1.33% DTT Satellite wants a free access, no matter the price.
- 0.44% The states that do not need satellite DTT in Spain.
- 0.41% is satisfied as currently distributed by Abertis.
And the 0.12% estimated that DTT is not necessary as some satellite channels are available in packages of payment.

What UK TV Channels are available on small satellite dish on the Costa Blanca Spain
Here is a full channel list (correct as at December 2009) of the UK TV channels that you should be able to receive on the Costa Blanca area of Spain on a small satellite dish.
These are all the free to air (FTA) channels that can be received without a Sky viewing card, on a Sky digibox, a Freesat satellite receiver, or a generic satellite receiver.
This is due to the fact that these channels are on the Astra 2A south beam frequencies, the Astra 2B south beam frequencies and the pan European Eurobird 1 beam frequencies.
You will not be able to receive any of the FTA UK TV channels from Astra 2D, such as BBC or ITV, as these require the big 1.8m or 2.4m satellite dishes.
When I say small, I managed to receive all of these on a 80cm satellite dish. Some of these are able to be received even on a 60cm satellite dish. But as we are in a fringe reception area, the channels may not be available during periods of heavy cloud cover or rain.
