I don't understand, is this a new satellite? And at 19.2e how does it relate to 28e as mentioned above?

No it does exist for quite long time

Just to prevent further guessing: ASTRA 1N is currently at 1.8E for the Begin of Life Tests. Afterwards, the satellite will head to 28.2E for an interim mission to provide capacity for the UK and Ireland. Afterwards, she will be stationed at 19.2E. No definitive schedule yet.

According to SES the exact 1N frequency plan is

10700 – 11200 MHz
11450 – 12750 MHz

HOWEVER 1N cant use 11200-11450 & 12500-12750 at 28E so the frequencies will be restricted to

10700 – 11200 MHz
11450 – 12500 MHz
