[QUOTE="Huevos, post: 655491, member: 301161"] That is laughable. Seen from the satellite Betzdorf is less than 0.5º from a zone 1 dish area. In fact it is closer to zone 1 than most of Scotland. On spot beams, the laws of physics apply. Spot beams can only be as tight as the antenna system allows. To have a 1º beamwidth with a -3dB limit you need a dish 2 metres in diameter. So how many big dishes (or bigger if you want to have tighter beams than 2D) will these satellites be carrying? And even with 2D it is not so much the spot beam, but the 5/6 FEC and low transmitter power (39W) that make it difficult to receive. [/QUOTE]
