SRG SSR idée suisse moves satellite broadcasting sites

In order to achieve better picture and sound quality, the programs of Télévision Suisse romande TSR1 and TSR2 as well as Televisione svizzera di lingua italiana TSI1 and TSI2 will be broadcast on a second satellite via an additional transponder in parallel to the existing transmission slot. Anyone receiving the programs via satellite will have to change their receiver accordingly. From 16 May, reception of these channels will only be possible via the new satellite, SRG announced on Wednesday. The Swiss television channels SF1 and SF2 as well as SF info are not affected. These channels will remain on the previous satellites and broadcasting slots.
