The ones I could find were on:

12344H 27500
12515H 22000
12574H 22000
12722H 22000

Sadly not the usuals on:

11739V 27500
11973V 27500
What a shame,none of the HD transponders are currently FTA.
Would have loved to get a peek at Brava

Sorry if this has been mentioned but a real gem on 23E.

SABC 1 is FTA on 10758V 22000 7/8

Not often we get a chance to see South African TV in Europe!

Its DVB-S2 by the way. Actually the Stream info does show as 8/9 with 8PSK modulation.

Sound is AAC not AC3 or MPEG standard.

Most of Canal Digitaal and Tv Vlandeeren (19.2E) currently free to air.
Those picture bitrates on TV Vlaanderen are outstanding especially JIM

Actually the Bit Rate on Jim is nothing special - its averaging about 2500kbps atm during the poker game.

About the same as a good ITV channel on 28E!

However its obviously stat muxed as its going up and down by the second.

Wow - looks like we have double illumination on 19.2E and 23.5E.

Have re-scanned and have pulled in several new services on 23.5E.

I'll be checking out the F1 GP shortly on RTL7 HD on 12188H

Worth noting that the EPG is pretty much fully populated if you have a recording facility.

Canal Digitaal have isolated the encoding problem so these channels (and those at 23.5º) will be going back to encoded within the next 24 hours - assuming their patches work.
So enjoy them while you can.

Is it worth changing my set up from 13 & 19.2 to 19.2 and 23.5? I watch (or try to!) mainly Dutch & German channels, have been known to venture into the xxx smartcard route once or twice

There seems to be tonnes of Eurosport channels FTA on 13E. Each in a different language. I'm sorry, I'm unsure of the frequency - but noticed them when scanning around this evening...
Stupid question but is the Eurosport English audio sound track still available on hotbird in an unencrypted format? Have german eurosport from astra 1 but need digital audiotack.
Cheers

Whilst browsing King of Sat http://en.kingofsat.net/tv-23.5E.php I noticed that SABC1 was listed as clear.

Yep, it is
