Can you still get a satellite magazine?

I miss the idea of a satellite magazine where you used to get listings of lots of non 28.2 E channels across Europe and channel listings for lots of satellites, combined with tips, reader letters and articles etc, I remember What Satellite and Satellite TV Europe. Now I can't find anything like it on a mainstream newsagents or supermarkets shelf? Does it still exist anywhere, might you have to go to WH Smith or take out a subscription?

Thanks glad one is still going, does it still do channel listings by satellite? I could order it but would rather find it in a newsagent, guess that might be difficult!
tbh not bought the magazine for a good few years! (local newsagent stopped stocking it)
My local Tesco sell it, think Sainsburys also have it.
Not worth buying though, very poor nowadays.
Wotsat still lists channels by satellite, divided into SD, HD and Radio. It doesn't list programmes any more apart from specials. There is a larger 'professional' content than in former times but they still review new kit and have useful articles. Don't forget that 'Lyngsat' or 'King of Sat' on line list all available channels in immense detail for free!
Have you tried this ?

I remember magazines such as Satellite times which used to give german and french listings aswell. Not sure what happened it.
Will it no longer have anything to do with satellite? If so, that really is the last one gone, otherwise listings would be good because it doesn't offer any, they actually used to list german channels etc with Satellite TV Europe.
Wouldn't mind getting the September one, but how would you get it in a welsh town without many newsagents?
Subscription terminated
Mine also arrived this morning - all 36 pages of it! Any idea as to the long-term plan for the mag? Surely they can't justify the £4.50 cover price now unless they always throw in a 'bonus' copy of Home Cinema Choice (which I don't want)?
Odd the way there's no mention to this new format in the Editor's Letter at the front of the mag...
Really don't want to cancel my sub, but it's looking like I'll have to
The letter that came last month implied our subscription would be changed, if we took no action, to HCC
IMHO, Wotsat is a title of a publication now, not a magazine >:(

not sure if they still do a 'paper' version
I too have cancelled my subscription to What Satellite.
Great Shame!
As has been said, a now 36 page "magazine" for £4.50 with a "free" copy of the £4.50 HI-Fi Choice magazine.
What a joke, and no explanation for this whatsoever, in last month's magazine or this month's.
Their website says nothing about any changes either, and it's still offering subscriptions.
Talk about treating their readership with contempt!
>:(
It's a shame they couldn't manage a special farewell edition with some best bits from over the years or something
