[QUOTE="Adam792, post: 1118132, member: 330868"] Not sure I've ever seen the supposed footprints of Ka-Sat the same on two websites before. The one that would closest match the Irish spotbeam in use for RTÉ/Saorsat on Satbeams would be spot 24 as shown on Satbeams, but I think the actual beam is shifted more to the north west than shown on there, as well as being at a different angle, centred over most of Ireland rather than just the Sunny South East! Also, the major problem with Ka-Sat is frequency re-use rather than a weak signal, making its coverage interference limited. It's impossible to receive RTÉ at all any further east than parts of Wales and the South West peninsular of England because of the beam covering the north east of France using the same frequencies, and that being the closer of the two in those locations. The same applies further north as one of the beams covering eastern Scotland also does this as far as I know. [/QUOTE]
