[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 1144150, member: 176362"] It doesnt work like that - given that the transmission power provided by a transponder is a fixed amount (which it has to be as satellites dont have an unlimited power availability & there could be 60 or more transponders active at any one time) to give higher eirp over a given area you have to reduce the coverage area. Hence there will be 2 beams. The current widebeam will be similar to the existing coverage & will likely have all the Arabic / Middle Eastern / religious claptrap channels. The higher power beam will likely have the European pay tv channels on it. Look at the coverage maps for the old Hotbirds & you will see how it works. [/QUOTE]
