I think you will find they all share the group of sats and I didn't suggest there was more than one because for all intents and purposes there is a singular collection that deals with our satellite TV needs. If you knew this much you would also understand the needs of line of sight so it begs the question why your earlier posts were so misguided????????
and yes, its 36K km not miles

All the ASTRA satellites operate in the geostationary orbit, some 36,000km above the Earth’s equator. ASTRA groups the satellites in five clusters, at the ASTRA 19.2°E, ASTRA 28.2°E, ASTRA 23.5°E, ASTRA 5°E and ASTRA 31.5°E positions.

SKy as we know it uses 28.2E with a little on 28.5
