The sole remaining BBC widebeam frequency (11954H) which carries the BBC i nteractive & the radio channels will be discontinued at the end of October. All services will be moved to BBC uk beam frequencies.

The list in post #1 has been updated to reflect the changes

The next big change occurs this week when the first transponders are swapped from Astra 1N to 2F. We expect many fringe areas north east and south west of the UK to start losing access to the psb channels, and therefore to have to use access to the widebeam channels still available and listed on the first post of this thread..

The first channels moving will be:

10964H 22000 5/6 (CH5/5USA/5*/Channel 5+1),
10994H 22000 5/6 (ITV 1 Granada HD/ITV 1 Central South West SD/ITV 1 Anglia West SD/ITV 1 Meridian North SD/ITV 1 Yorkshire East SD/ITV 1+1 Yorkshire SD),
11052H 22000 5/6 (ITV 1 Central South SD/ITV 1 Central East SD/ITV 1+1 Wales SD/ITV 1+1 Westcountry SD/ITV 1+1 Tyne Tees SD), and
11126V 22000 5/6 (Channel 4 HD/4Seven SD)

BBC1 Scotland HD & BBC1 Wales HD launch on the Astra 2F UK beam this week. Expat viewers outside the 2F transmission zone with Sky or Freesat HD boxes registered to Scottish or Welsh addresses will lose BBC1 HD on Monday 14th Jan & Tuesday 15th Jan respectively.

The chart in post #1 has been updated to reflect the new arrangements.

With 2B having been switched off this week Ive updated the list to reflect the new arrangements, and it has to be said the number of channels is dwindling fast.

The remaining widebeam channels on Astra 2A are expected to be turned off later this year when 2E goes into service.

UTV HD will launch onto 28E on November 4th. It will of course be on one of the UK beams, although the frequency & satellite is unknown atm.

Astra 2E was safely orbited last Sunday and is now on her way to 43.5E for In Orbit testing.

We may see her on air at 28.2E before the end of the year, IOT is typically 4-6 weeks..

The BBC are expected to be early swaps onto the 2E UK beam swapping off the 1N beam
