[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 583804, member: 176362"] I dont believe there is any damaged antenna alignment - a very early press release I saw mentioned coverage into the Middle East - I mentioned it a couple of times in early discussions of 1M and wasnt believed :D Remember these antenna reflectors are precision engineered to sub-millimetric levels of precision and any deployment fault would basically make that transmission reflector useless. ALso look at the Astra 1/Hotbird historical situation. The Middle East has always been Eutelsat country. With satellites now covering that region SES can go for the market - and once they start culling the 19E analogue channels next year they will have plenty of digital capacity coming up for grabs. They may be able to offer some very sweet deals to channels wanting to transmit into the Middle East. [/QUOTE]
