Can I still listen via the Astra satellite system in Europe?
The BBC World Service is no longer available from Astra satellites in Europe.
However, to continue listening you can re-tune your existing equipment to the Eutelsat Hot Bird 6 satellite.
Our European service can be heard 24 hours a day, free-to-air, from Hot Bird 6 at 13° East, transponder 130U, vertical polarisation, 11131 MHz, PID 457, in stereo. Hot Bird 6 covers the whole of Europe (including the Iceland and the Canary Islands).
You should contact a local satellite/TV equipment dealer for information about the DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting) receiver required for reception from Hot Bird 6. This works in conjunction with a television set, but you can connect the audio output of the set-top receiver box to a Hi-Fi system for better quality sound.
