[QUOTE="timo_w2s, post: 831976, member: 196043"] These satellites have been in the planning and building stages for quite some time so the footprints are not something recently decided. I think the lack of eastern reception is more down to SES wanting to use 28E as their new Mid East hotspot and so want to keep the European beams skewed further west in case they want to reuse frequencies. But that's just my theory. I have no idea why they are going out of their way to avoid the Nordic areas quite so much though when in the past 2A/2B North and all 2C beams could be picked up on a 45cm dish even in the north of Lapland. I suppose they feel they don't need backup for this area or the are other satellites planned that could be used for Nordic areas if needed. [/QUOTE]
