But, the good news is that ITV opened a transponder at 11386 V 27500 on Astra 2E. Works fine here. I can't get the HD's on 2G and 2F except Channel 5 (different symbolrate) at my location despite the big dish.

Yes, that frequency (11386 V 27500) is very stable and in my area it remains stable throughout the day.

In order to tune in to the frequency 11344 H 27500 (2F) I have to move the antenna a little to the right, looking at the antenna from behind, but I lose the signal from the BBC channels on the frequencies 10818 V and 10847 V.

For 2E U.K. and 2G U.K. I don't have to fine tune the HD frequencies I get.

Yes, 2E is 0.3 deg further east. With a big dish the aperture is only 0.5 degrees. So one has too choose.

With my 2.4m I must to choose every time.
But moving the dish just a little bit is enough, so no problem.
