[QUOTE="Satellite74, post: 790055, member: 379688"] that doesn't sound very optimistic :( I know there was a lot of doomsaying going on in the run-up to 1N... but in the end, when 1N was developed, it wasn't meant to end up serving a stint as backup for UK TV before assuming its final orbital position... Although there's apparently no info anywhere on the web at this time about the 2F UK or European beams, I just came across a speculative 2F Africa beam... (sorry if this is old news to everybody on this thread) _http://www.satbeams.com/satellites?id=2489 _http://www.satlaunch.net/2011/05/astra-2f-coverage-maps.html ...which seems to focus smack bang on the desired areas of service, with minimal overspill...
