My System: Sky UK. FTA analogue & digital satellite from 5 fixed dishes (5E/7E/9E/13E/16E /19E/23E/28E) Pace MSS100, Echostar IP3000VA, Technomate TM-1000D, Dreambox 7020S

Angry Astra 1K (lost)

Heres a bit of history - the transmission footprints for Astra 1K (lost after a botched launch in November 2002). The maps disappeared off the SES web site very fast after the mishap - not before I had grabbed them though!

Notice the non overlapping spot beams in the second picture - and frequency reuse between the beams would have denied reception of anything on the other beam if you lived under one of them....
