I can understand why UK public service broadcasters have switched a limited UK spotbeam on Astra 2 at 28.2 degrees East and it is largely to protect broadcast rights to the UK. If the UK public service channels permitted their signals to be seen across Europe unrestricted then programme providers and movie studios can insist on higher supply prices for their material or withdraw supply.
