[QUOTE="Fisty McB, post: 1124528, member: 389824"] A bit late to reply to this, but looking through the [URL='http://www.satstar.net/satellites/ses17.html']SatStar website for satellite footprints for SES-17[/URL], with its large selection of Ka-Band footprints there appears to be one "dedicated" for most the UK & Ireland (SA66) & the northern reaches of France, while beam SA61 covers Scotland, NI & a NW portion of the Republic of Ireland. I'm not sure where SatStar have sourced their footprint maps from for this satellite (SES's own site doesn't list them or I haven't found it!) but they're normally reliable. Looks like in the western European skies this is now the satellite farthest west in the arc (67.1W) that has a beam intended for "domestic" reception in at least the UK & Ireland, displacing the Telstar 14R & 19 Vantage satellites at 63E with their North Atlantic beams (though they're Ku Band as opposed to SES-17's Ka-Band).
