1. ASTRA 1F is currently on the way to his fnal position
2. nothing is known about Russian TV via this satellite. All transmissions 
are in MPEG-2
3. MPEG-packages containing pay-tv (encoded) and free channels (free of 
charge),    but you will need a C.A.-module.
It is much too early to say which channels will broadcast via the ASTRA 1F, 
but if there is anything known, you can read it in TELE-satellite magazine.
