Hi
I have a 1metre motorised dish .
Just wondered if anyone could point out any channels that play classical music.
I've been lost since the Landscape channel finished broadcasting a few years back.
thanks

Their's Classic FM , and The Performance Channel on Astra 28.2 which are both free to air which show classical music.
The Performance Channel also show other things like, ballet, opera, etc, but they also show concerts, whereas Classic FM has music all the time just like it's sister station on the radio.

Thanks for that rob ...think i have seen Classic fm but they seem to repeat the same pieces over and over again...will have a look at the Performance Channel. Have just found one on hotbird which looks interesting ......Musique classique.
The beauty of The Landscape Channel was the superb music set to relaxing natural landscape background video's. Hope it re-emerges in the future.

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

If you have access to a Seca Cam and (ahem) subscription card, then on 13 East you can receive the French music channel Mezzo at 12245H , and of course the Musique Classique from ABSat as you have already discovered
