Free Russian Channels
2020 update:
The Kartina Satellite broadcasts from Astra 1 were cut off without warning this month. The expected customer take up of this offer ( 25 russian channels for a one-off payment ) did not materialise so the sponsor pulled out. From Jan 2020 the only large group of free to air Russian channels are once again on Hotbird with a couple on the Astra 4 ( Sirius ) platform
