Nicholas Willmott: In addition to Mike's comments, Astra have updated their website at
Satellite Fleet & Coverage - SES.com
.
I can understand why you might think that "Astra 1 was analogue" as the Sky analogue services were on Astra 1, and indeed there are still some analogue services ("PAL") at 19.2 east - Astra 1H/1KR/1L/1M/2C at 19.2°E - LyngSat .
However, Mike's had explained the situation to you.

Steve P: No card is required to get the firmware update.
There could be an issue with the tuner in your "new" box.
You only see the "firmware upgrade" message if backup (on the box, not the remote) is held down when the power is plugged in. Perhaps the button is stuck in?

U: I think that the EEA EU-Switzerland agreement bilaterally implements the Television Without Frontiers Directive in Swizerland, so again no fees are chargeable or payable.

R McINTOSH: The Samsung SH893M Box is not a "Freeview HD" box, you will need a "Freeview HD" tuner box to use channels 110, 111 and 112.

Ian: In most cases this should not cause any retuning as there is no change to the service information tables, only a change to the forward error correction, which most boxes will detect anyway.

Tina: As long as your aerial is on the roof, you should not need a new one at all.
