[QUOTE="BM300, post: 804574, member: 247938"] An intresting finding is when I tried installing a setup for someone was that when you are near the equator, you can get many footprints which are way out of the assigned transmission area. This is due to at least 2 factors. One factor is the "side-lobes" A good example of this is the reception of the UK beam of Astra in Nigeria. Another finding is that, the equtorial location is almost the "highest point of planet earth". So many of the rules are somehow broken or twisted. So my advice is, even if the books say that you cannot get a particular satellite or beam, try it. You may suprise yourself. [/QUOTE]
