That's unusual for 28.2 to carry anything other than DTH isn't it?

There have been adhoc OBs on there for a couple years now, NEP use it occasionally, CNN used it a lot during the last Royal Wedding. I think its on a transponder that cannot be used for DTH but maybe someone else knows the technical reason.

It is on Astra 2F as that is a good satellite for receiving into a smaller dish, such as those mounted on uplink trucks.
There is a reasonable amount of ad hoc space available on it, it is not just the direct to home use it is best known for.
You will not find much in the way of feeds on satellite though during the Games.
