[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 794377, member: 176362"] Did you [B]seriously[/B] expect anything else? This has been on the cards for YEARS. For 2 main reasons 1) Rights issues - the UK broadcasters want coverage restricted so they can transmit fta in English. If they cover more of Europe they have to pay more 2) Spectrum is very scarce in the skies above Europe and the best way of increasing coverage is to start doubling up orbital slots to serve more areas. To do this they have to restrict some coverage areas down. Sadly its only going to get worse in the next few years. BTW if you think this is bad have a look at the Ka beams available on 9E - [B][I]82 spotbeams[/I][/B] each covering no more than a few hundred miles! [/QUOTE]
