Satellites....Astra 2E update

ASTRA 2E STILL TESTING
It has been more than a month that the new satellite Astra 2E has been in its testing position, confusing many (including us) who understood that SES Astra was in a real hurry to get it into service before Christmas. This could still happen, depending on how fast they are prepared to move the satellite.

 Is it True or False?
"All BBCs, ITVs, Ch4s Ch5 group of  TV channels etc will disappear from the SKY platform at end of October beginning November. None of these channels will physically reach Europe mainland via Satellite."
False. These services will not disappear from the Sky platform, and signals will continue to reach mainland Europe via satellite after Astra 2E goes into service. The signals will, however, be very weak in southern Spain.
