Astra 2D reception around Europe.

[Analoguesat]

Astra 2D is one of the satellites at 28.2E carrying the "Sky TV service" Unlike the other satellites parked here, it has a beam (footprint) the is tightly focussed onto the UK and northwestern Europe.

This satellite carries the free to air BBC and ITV services, so is desperately wanted by many UK expats scattered around Europe.It is possible to watch 2D away from the UK, but you may need a bigger dish than normal. If you want 2D, and live outside the UK, the first place to start is here:
