What ever your definition of European skies...
from 45.1 West, Echostar 15 will only beam to the Americas.

Well maybe 40W is pushing it a bit, but its above the horizon for most of Europe even if the beams arent firing our way

Yes the UK has opportunities even up to 80 West to maybe get some spill over signals.

Think Echo-15 is the first newish American satellite thats been punted round this way - launched in 2010
(Discounting AMC-14 which was allocated a new role after a partial launch failure and is very heavily inclined at 30E)
