[QUOTE="itisix, post: 619238, member: 238020"] If you look at the footprint, portugal is also far out of there. I was just giving a bit of an example as to how it could work. I've seen footprint websites saying you need about 2,5 meters in portugal, and you can have it in the southern parts with just 1,2 meters. You can't look at the distance in "degrees", but rather in miles, since the satellite has an almost round beam coverage. If you go to google earth, the algarve is pretty much the same distance to the center of the beam as the puglia area, so there shouldn't be much difference. Looking at the footprint, would you say it works with 1,2 meters in the algarve? Probably not, but it does... As for the reports of 1,8 you can see it here, but like I said, I can't confirm this. _http://pt.kingofsat.net/beams.php?s=52 [/QUOTE]
