[QUOTE="Lexzie, post: 877136, member: 344918"] The official footprints never cover the fringe reception and that's what we talk about here. Have also a look at the footprints at [URL='http://www.satbeams.com/footprints']Satbeams[/URL], they're my favorite. The so called MENA-beams of Nilesat/Arabsat/Badr always seems to reach much further (north) than on the official footprints. But there is a difference between the different sat's, beams and polarisations. Also take in mind that DVB-S2, lower symbolrates and/or smaller FEC's are harder to receive than DVB-S, higher symbolrates and/or larger FEC's. Your dish (polarmount/rotor) needs to be perfectly adjusted to travel across the Clarke belt to get those birds. Just keep trying, especially with a 1.2m dish (or larger) and always report here of course. ;) [/QUOTE]
