I recently noticed that Mescamd is also functional on the Hispasat satellite, at 30º West. At one time Movistar, the Spanish cable outlet was equally present on Astra and Hispasat, but now Movistar has all but abandoned Hispasat for its tv programming anyway.

Not so the Portuguese outlets, MEO and NOS, which are responsible for most of the television that the Portuguese watch. Mescamd works best with the MEO transponders: 12.130, 12.168, 12.207, 12.246, 12.284, 12.398 and 12.476. Most Premier League games are available on the Sport TV 1-5 cluster as well as the other competitions on 12.246. Movie channels abound, normally available in English or simply with Portuguese subtitles on the screen. Occasionally too, open channels are available on the NOS transponders.

So, if you have a motor attached to your satellite dish, Hispasat can offer some good viewing, INHO.
