As far I can determine, ESPN America HD is supplied in Scandinavia by Canal Digital on LyngSat's Thor 5/6 at 0.8°W.

I don't know where the original uplink is sourced from but someone has to pay for the downlink unless it's also available by other means (e.g. a direct cable feed of some sort). In the UK, it tends to be BSkyB that fund the downlink but FreeSat or Virgin Media themselves would be alternative candidates if the customer base justified the expense.
Yep that exactly what I mean, I usually do one line answers when posting from my mobile. The uplink for ESPN channels that currently broadcast in the UK are done in a play out facility just outside of London I assume that ESPNA HD is uplinked from there as well.
