[QUOTE="geoffreys, post: 375479, member: 176167"] Yes, that is correct - assuming that the footprints were similar to the 2D satellite's spot beam footprint. I notice from other replies that there is doubt whether 2A and/or 2B have spot beam capability anyway! Like I said, we will just have to wait and see. Regards loss of revenue from expats etc (mentioned in another reply) most would be able to just buy a larger dish. In Spain for example you'd be talking about a modest cost to do that (e.g. from 1m dish to a 2m dish). But at the fringes, like here in Cyprus, it means going to a 4.2m dish from a 2.4m dish - costly! So the loss of revenue would be small in practice - and miniscule compared to the savings to SKY/Astra by being able to defer the huge investment in replacement satellites. Geoff Cyprus [/QUOTE]
