That BBC will be going onto Astra 2D in the near future? A friend of mine down here in Malta said he heard it somewhere, if so we won't be able to get it down here any more. I wont even ask about ITV and C4 coming on to the Irish card! Thanks

If everything goes to plan (BBC's plan anyway), all BBC channels will broadcast FTA from Astra 2D officially from 1st June.

That's only if it goes to plan though

So does that mean they will stop broadcasting them on Astra 2A? or whichever one it allready uses? We are too far south here to pick up on 2D

In Malta you *might* receive the BBC channels with I guess a 2m+ sized dish. Can you receive the ITV channels at the moment?
