[QUOTE="M60, post: 795337, member: 376177"] I reckon realistically we could see it move in more of an arc from Denmark down through southern Germany and sweep across the bottom of France. One thing we do know about 1N is that east of that line the field strength drops like a stone given the reception reports received. If this is a 'fudged' widebeam or steerable antenna which as we know has a lot of overspill then the custom UK 1N footprint will almost certainly be much tighter. 2D's footprint was never UK customised, just out of luck fitted the UK topography and SES found a use for it here although back in 2000 probably would have preferred another pan-European one. As things turned out that has been the saviour for FTA Satellite broadcasting and also Freesat's creation. We'll have to see how things pan out, anything else is just guess-work at this stage.
