From today some major international channels are no longer available on Astra; channels were hosted by Canal Satellite, the French pay TV platform, so who wanted to offer its subscribers (and not only because it was free channels) channels broad international complement to PPV bid; do not know the reasons for removal, but you can think of a reduction in costs or the need to have room for HD, and 19.2 ° East space is scarce, given the presence of more than 30 analog channels that occupy almost half of the available frequencies (although all German broadcasters).
The channels will disappear, as well as a Rai, who will be alone Yes as Italian channel in that location will be:
* TRT Turk, international television channel of the Turkish state;
* 2M Monde global version of the second channel was Moroccan;
* TVE Internacional, the international television broadcaster was Spanish;
* TV7 Tunisia, Tunisian public television;
* RTPI, issuer International Portuguese state television;
* At Masriya, issuer of Arabic;
* Canal Algerie, the Algerian state broadcaster bilingual (some programs in Arabic, others in French).
Definitely a great loss for the Astra, which thus becomes no longer a satellite but an international satellite mainly for three countries: Germany, all German TV and Sky DE, France, Canal Sat, TNTSat and other channels; Spain, Digital + .
