For those of you with FTA Digital Satellite systems, the German 500 and Rockingham 500 are being shown LIVE on these channels:

German 500
Qual: ARD?? Time: ?? (Qualifing is live channel unknown, possibly ORB)
Race: ARD 1 Time: Noon - 3pm
Race: Italia 1 Time as above.

Rockingham 500
Qual: ??
Race: Italia 1 Time unknown as yet.

------------------------------------

These channels are free to air, i.e. not encrypted, in Digital format and are on the following satellites:

ARD - Astra 1, location 19.2 Deg. East (The old Sky Analogue Satellite)
Frequency: 11.837Mhz
Polarity: H
S/R: 27500
FEC: 3/4

(It is a German channel - also in Analogue from same satellite 11.493 H)



Italia 1 - Hotbird 1-5, location 13 Deg. East (a popular Euro Satellite)
Frequency: 11.919Mhz
Polarity: Vertical
S/R: 27500
FEC: 2/3

(Italy Canal+ channel) (not transmitted in Analogue)

If you have a Sky Digital system you can tune into these channels BUT you will need a second 60cm dish (the Sky mini-dish is not big enough).

If anybody wants me to post up instructions on how to get these channels on a Sky box let me know, both Astra 1 and Hotbird are reasonably easy to find as both have very strong UK signals.
