[satesco]

From Satnews:

"SES (NYSE Euronext Paris and Luxembourg Stock Exchange: SESG) announced today that the BBC has contracted one additional transponder at ASTRA 28.2 degrees East from the duration of the 2014 Wimbledon Tennis Championships and Glastonbury Festival—both in June—till the Commonwealth Games in August. This additional capacity will be used to broadcast multiple high definition and standard definition video streams and will be available to satellite and cable viewers in the UK.
These households will enjoy the flexibility that satellite has to offer through simultaneous live feeds of events. Viewers will be able to watch the Wimbledon tennis match of their choice, alternative sound stages at the Glastonbury Festival and various events at the different locations hosting the Commonwealth Games..."

@satesco. I understand why you say 28.3E, Flysat quote this position.

Officially Astra are at 28.2E and Eutelsat at 28.5E

But Astra 2A, 2D & 2F are currently around 28.2E
and Astra 2E & Eutelsat 28A are currently around 28.5E
