Whoops! That should have said "used by Sky"!

One is looking south for the satellites, towards the equator. 28.2E is
then more or less 28.2 degrees east (left) of south. You should be
able to find more information than you need by googling etc. I
recently set up a dish from scratch, pointed in roughly in the same
direction as the neighbours dishes then used the digibox to get to the
right satellite.
