[QUOTE="HB13DISH, post: 583452, member: 262829"] I am just wondering why Premiere has decided to transmit several transponders on the wide beam. As Premiere official subscription is possible only in Germany and Austria, then I would have expected them to transmit only using the European beam so as to make it as difficult as possible to other countries like in the Middle East to receive the signals. Could there be any technical reasons behind it? Is it because the signal from this satellite is too powerful and therefore they use the wide beam? Something like when you have a torch light shining over a small area and then over a wider area, then the light intensity is reduced. I remember several years ago, when TPS made tests to transmit on the European beam (wide beam) instead of the Super Beam (narrow beam), they had complaints from their subscribers and then they reverted back to super beam until they resolved the technical problems.
