[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 1136007, member: 176362"] Yup it does. Restricted beams are going to become more & more important to the operators & transmission companies in the future - and remember it was due to be introduced in Europe as far back as 2002 on Astra 1K. Frequency reuse between beams means less frequencies are needed to tranmit much more content, & steep drop off at beam edges means much reduced out of area viewing. The importance of recduced beam coverage can be demonstrated very simply. Badr4 had an "MBC beam" listed for years, supposedly reducing coverage of the MBC channelsm to MENA. It was a complete fabrication - I could easily receive it on an 80 cm dish in southern Scotland. The signals were exactly the same strength as the rest of the frequencies I could pick up. But the untruth kept the tv companies happy........ [/QUOTE]
