Appendix: Search satellites
ASTRA 1:
Astra 1 primarily serves the German-speaking regions of Europe. It features more
than 50 free-to-air programs in German language, including all major privately
owned stations, stations under public law, their „third channels" and numerous
radio programs. Reception in Turkey, the Eastern Mediterranean and Eastern Euro-
E
pe is however poor or unavailable. With an 85-cm parabolic antenna, reception is
possible even on the Canary Islands, in Morocco and in Greece.
ASTRA 2:
Astra 2 primarily covers the English-speaking regions of Europe. It transmits the po-
pular free-to-air English-language news channels like BBC and ITV. The footprint is
even larger than that of Astra 1, but the reception area is split into a northern and
a southern zone. The full range of channels is only available in Central Europe. Free-
to-air channels of the BBC and ITV can only be reliably received in Great Britain and
Ireland, France, Benelux and the western areas of Germany.
ASTRA 3:
Astra 3 transmits programme packages from the Netherlands, the Czech Republic
and Slovakia. Southern Europe is not covered by the footprint of the Astra 3 signals.
HOTBIRD („Eutelsat Hotbird"):
Like Astra, Hotbird is not a single satellite, but a system comprising several satel-
lites. It transmits more than 200 digital free-to-air programs in several languages.
Hotbird fully covers all of Europe, but at sometimes signifi cantly lower signal levels
than Astra. Hotbird is the easiest way to receive German stations in Greece and
Turkey.
THOR and SIRIUS:
The channels and the footprint of Thor and Sirius cover Northern Europe. Many, so-
metimes all, channels of Thor and Sirius may be received even in Southern Germany
if an adequately sized antenna is used. However, almost all channels are encrypted.
ATLANTIC BIRD 3:
Atlantic Bird 3 mainly covers France and Benelux, but can also be received all over
Europe if a suitable parabolic antenna is used. It transmits several digital free-to-air
French channels.
