[QUOTE="jonfr, post: 583921, member: 296819"] I don't think that we can get any US or Canadian satellites. Mainly for the reasion that they are too far west for Iceland and possible below horizion. At least there isn't any Ku beam that reaches Iceland. I found this footprint map of Nimiq, _http://www.geo-orbit.org/fprntwest/nimiq.gif C band coverage is ok here in Iceland. But I don't have any C band LNB so it is of no use to me at the moment. In Iceland, the best signals come from 1W, 13E, 19,2E, 23,5E (1/2), 28,2E and other satellites in that range. We also get few satellites on the West part of the sky, but no more then up to 37.5W, the exception from that might be the C band satellites that have huge coverage. Most people point there dishes to europe. I don't know of anyone that has tried to get signal from US or Canada. I hope that this gives you good idea on satellite coverage in Iceland. [/QUOTE]
