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 ![]() The last noble sat warrior to fly the olden flag of Analogue | Newly launched, and not yet on station, Sirius 4 will be operating a Ku and Ka band payload. Coverage will be similar to Sirius 2 & 3 although with more coverage into Eastern Europe. There is also supposed to be an African footprint, although I havent found any map of that yet.

The last 2 or 3 tp's will swap over in the next few days. Signal strengths are very good here in southern Scotland - and there are reports of the the BSS Nordic beams being easily received in south Wales!

Still no sign of the African footprint beam though.
