While Sky may close its analog services by June 2001 and in the long term Analog Terrestial and Analog Satellite TV is doomed, plenty of services have actually commenced on analog satellite. Some of the older transponders are not suitable or ideal for digital, thus may carry analog till the end of life of the satellite. A satellite may have a design life. But many of the transponders will work for years after that date. As long as it works at all, it costs very little, so the owner will sell the air space!
For English speaker and also various Pop video, Jazz, Lifestyle, Art etc the best selection for Analog is: 19E, 16E, 13E.
For Digibox the basic selection is 28E, 19E, 13E. Other possibilities are 23E, 7E, 7W. These need bigger dish.
