[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 935494, member: 176362"] 13E & 16E are a historical accident. When the first satellites were launched the beam shaping technology was rudimentary to say the least & 13E & 16E were amongst the first European slots to be activated. The days of the ultra wide beam satellite are over though - with more and more satellite slots being opened up the coverage zones of new birds is being cut back to avoid interference. You can wave goodbye to a lot of 9E when the new satellite takes over in the next year or so - the multiple spot beams will see to that Hard though it is to accept, Indian coverage is low on the priorities for most of the European zone operators, and they certainly arent going to design wide beam craft just so a few thousand hobbyists can watch European tv.
