Satdude does a daily transponder listing for All satellites this list is just for Astra & Eurobird available to Sky digital viewers.
Hope that makes things clearer.

Hi,

I'm new to this game and apart from finding the regional variations for BBC1 by putting in the coordinates I haven't found anything very interesting.

Can you find interesting extra channels on your sky box, without moving your dish etc. If so what are they and where are they?

Thanks.
