A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

There will at best likely be some slight changes at the footprint extremities (for better or worse), as is the case with the current Hot Bird constellation at 13E, but the cold truth is that right now there is no public knowledge what the planned footprints are for the HB13F & HB13G and there won't be any until (a) Eutelsat publish them themselves, or (b) some sort of official looking "leak" is published (unlikely). And once the satellite(s) is/are in orbit and testing, real world reception reports will give a more nuanced answer.
If not already mentioned above the satellite provider (and in some instances the broadcaster) has the ability to fine tune their content across a region using spatial filtering.


What you might observe initially could vanish the following day.

no formal footprint but a strong superman for western European countries is high probability.
