[QUOTE="Satellite74, post: 795320, member: 379688"] been pondering this map today from the thread [URL="http://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/astra-28-2e-astra-1n-astra-2d-fringe-reception-technical-discussion/195122-astra-1n-eastern-europe-reception-survey-uk-spot-beam-11126v-dvb-s2.html"]Astra 1N, Eastern Europe, reception survey, UK spot beam (11126V DVB-S2) [ATTACH]47881.IPB[/ATTACH] [/URL] As reports by other users have shown, reception gets a little sketchy east of the red line on the map, unless you are prepared to invest in sizeable dish equipment. I know it's all just guesses, educated ones at best, until 2F is in position and has started transmitting, but if this is as good as it currently gets with 1N, and if 2F unlike 1N will have a custom-designed UK spot beam, then shouldn't it follow that that red line will move west by as much as a few hundred miles? And could somebody please explain again what relevance "off-axis" considerations might have here, given that my location in central Germany is only about one degree off the center of 2F's prospective spot beam?
