Here in Sweden all BBC channels are gone now on Sunday Feb 9, ITV and Channel 4 are still there.

Very disappointing, I upgraded my boxes to VU+ to be able to see Brittish HD TV, what should I do now???

Not for long though. Those will migrate as well next Tuesday but nothing to do with Vu+ boxes anyway ...

What I meant with my VU+ boxes is that I just 6 months ago upgraded my stuff to be able to see Brittish HD TV, now this investment (3 VU+ boxes) is useless. If I had known this I could have stayed with my old Topfield. Nothing wrong with VU+ and it's not their fault I'm just very frustrated. My only hope now is to get some kind of IPTV services and there aren't many good ones to offer for VU+ as far as I know at the moment.

Sure but this move has been planned for more than a year if I remember correctly. There's always the 27.5W option but I'm afraid we can't discuss that here ...

Astra 2E is at 28.2E. To ascertain if you can receive any channels, from that satellite, we will need to know your general location and your dish size.
I haven't seen any satellite footprint maps, for Astra 2E, yet.
