Can anyone please help me?

Recently RTE (Irish satellite radio) switched its transmission from an analog to a digital system. I purchased a digital satellite dish and LMB as part of the update requirement.

Unfortunately I can not receive any programmes at all now and I´m completely lost. According to information from RTE, RTE Radio 1 available on Hotbird 5 at l3 degrees east serving mainland Europe. There are so many different satellites I´totally confused.

Is Hotbird perhaps a sub-carrier of Eutelsat?

Anyone out there who can lend a hand?

Thanks in advance.
