| Overseas Reception & Regional Settings |
Outside the official Astra 2D footprint, reception of your default region may be difficult. Apart from some local variations, the BBC's and ITV1's programming is more or less identical.
All BBC and ITV regions are available on satellite, though quite a few are still missing at present from Freesat's EPG.
Some regions use horizontal and some vertical transponders. Signal strength from horizontal and vertical transponders varies considerably from country to country, so your default region may not give the best reception in your area.
Try one of the following combinations: |
| Region |
Postcode |
Area |
Polarization |
| BBC One SE & ITV1 London |
TN13 1AA |
Seven Oaks, Kent |
Vertical |
BBC One Scotland and ITV Border North |
