(see page 14).
ASTRA 1
Astra 1 primarily serves the German-speaking regions of Europe. It transmits
all German-language television channels, private and public channels and all
regional public TV and radio channels.
Reception in Turkey, the Eastern Mediterranean and Eastern Europe is
however poor or unavailable. With an 85-cm antenna, reception is however
usually available even on the Canary Islands, in Morocco and in Greece. In
comparison to the old analogue channels, the digital footprint is much wider.
ASTRA 2
Astra 2 primarily covers the English-speaking regions of Europe. It transmits
the popular English-language news channels. The footprint is even larger
than that of Astra 1, but the reception area is split into a northern and a
southern zone. The full range of channels is only available in Central Europe.
Free-to-air channels of the BBC can only be reliably received in Great Britain
and Ireland, France, Benelux and the western areas of Germany.
HOTBIRD ("Eutelsat Hotbird")
Like Astra, Hotbird is not a single satellite, but a system comprising several
satellites. Hotbird fully covers all of Europe, but at sometimes lower signal
levels than Astra. Hotbird is the easiest way to receive German channels in
Turkey, the Eastern Mediterranean and Northern Africa.
THOR
The channels and the footprint of Thor cover northern Europe. Almost all
channels of Thor are encrypted, though.
SIRIUS
Like Thor, Sirius servers the Scandinavian region. A small range of its
channels can however be received almost all over Europe.
