How will these changes
affect Sky HD or Freesat reception in France? If you live within the North of France
and the Lyon area then your viewing will not be
affected and you will continue to receive all
the services you currently have. For viewers
down in the South of France and Spain reception
on certain channels may change or be lost after
all the new ASTRA2F satellite is operational in
november 2012.
At this time there are no
answers and no guarentees of future reception.

Astra 1N and if it will have similar spotbeams,
only time will tell. All frequencies from Astra
2D have been currently transfered to Astra 1N. Astra 2F UK Spot beam
