Astra's 1B is off air, and 1G & 1H are only carrying digital services.
The following transponders have been inactive
in recent weeks, although some of them are carrying test cards. It might be worth checking
them occasionally to see if they are carrying anything interesting:

Notes
none at the moment.
21st November 2006: TV Travel Shop has been removed from 10729V at some point. Over on 10744H TV Travel Shop has renamed to Voyages which seems to be a holiday documentaries channel.
3rd September 2006: XXP has ceased off 11377V. It has been replaced by DMAX
1st August 2006: The last two 1C channels have moved in the last 2 weeks and shes now off air. Viva (11127V) moved onto 1E and Eurosport (11259V) moved onto 1F.
13th July 2006: MDR (11112H) reported moved 1C to 2C. Its all getting a bit complicated and some of the info around about which satellite each service has moved to is contradictory! However its obvious Astra 1C is being run down very fast. The table will be tweaked further once the finakl switch around is completed.
12th July 2006: test card (11479V) moved 1E to 1KR. 1.2.3.tv reported moved 1C to 1KR
11th July 2006:
XXP (11377V) and Nick Germany 11421H) moved 1C to 1F.
Using the official SES channel list Ive corrected a couple of errors on the satellite
colours. According to the list, Phoenix (11009V) is on 1E not 1C. BR Alpha is on 2C not
1E. Bayerischer Fernsehen (11414H) is on 2C not 1E. Things will probably change
rapidly over the next few weeks as services on 1C are wound down in preparation for its
retiral.
10th July 2006: 9Live (10936V) moved Astra 1C to 1E.
8th July 2006: WDR (11053H) Bayern Alpha (11082H ) / Bayerisches Fernsehen (11141H) move from 1C to 1E, & RTL Shop (11244H) move 1C to 1F

4th October 2005: a weak test card has appeared on 11538V. Its so weak it could possibly be off Astra 1B..... Update once we have more info.

28th February 2004: TV Shop Germany has ceased off 10847V, it continues on 11377V. 11671H has been reactivated and is carrying an ASTRA test card.

(10th August 2003): Telemall TV is gearing up for a launch on 19E. They hope to be launching in Autumn 2003, and is another shopping service. My guess is that either 10744H or 10921H will be used.

If you want to use a very old analogue receiver with a modern LNB you need to do some maths for the frequency shift in the LNB. Or look at this page - frequency conversions for using very old analogue receivers with modern LNB's and you will find I have done them for you :-)
