The economics of satellite distribution do not lead themselves to having more than one satellite position. The locations used are allocated (by a UN committee) to various countries, each using just one orbital position.

Is the same satellite used to beam both Sky & Freesat? I cannot access the Sky satellite because of trees/hills, and would really like to find a way to get HD TV, as there is no possibility of cable coming to me.
Thanks

David Lindsay: Yes, all UK satellite broadcasts come from the same cluster. You will eventually be able to get a HDTV service using your aerial when switchover happens (or December 2009 whichever is later)
