Reception was even possible as far afield as Scotland, Sweden and Serbia when a larger dish (around 110 cm) was used.In addition to contribution feeds and individual TV channels, Astra 3A carried pay-TV networks including Kabel Deutschland (Germany), CanalDigitaal (Netherlands), TV Vlaanderen (Belgium), CS Link (Slovakia and Czech Republic) and Skylink (Slovakia and Czech Republic). On February 1, 2012 Kabel Deutschland left Astra 3A and during 2012 other services were transferred off the satellite. As of October 2012, Astra 3A was in an inclined orbit at 23.7°E with all services carried by the adjacent Astra 3B craft.In November 2013, Astra 3A was moved to 176.9°W where it remains, in inclined orbit, to provide backup to SES' NSS-9 satellite."@en }
