Astra1 (19.2E) doesn't have a lot of English channels on it (mainly French, Spanish and German).. You need Astra2 (28.2E) which is a couple of sats to the left.. Just remember that due to the curvature of the earth as you go left you will need to also slightly lower the dish. It's this sat that has all the UK freesat (and a few others).. If you go to the right slightly from Astra1 you'll also hit Hotbird (13E) which has a lot of Polish, Italian..etc channels on it
