[QUOTE="Adam792, post: 1080343, member: 330868"] Ah that’s a pity about your actuator [USER=369937]@Terryl[/USER] ! It seems a huge Ku band coverage zone that it hits both French Polynesia and towards the Eastern coast of Australia but then also up as far as Western Canada. I wonder how they actually uplink the channels onto a satellite that’s pretty much completely over the opposite side of the planet from mainland France. The rest of the satellite services for the French overseas territories are on the African beams of 16°E (for Reunion and Mayotte off the East coast of Africa) and 34.5°W (for the French Caribbean and French Guiana), so both orbital positions that are well over the horizon in Paris to be able to get the services over in a single hop. I guess they must have to send it all by fibre over to an Intelsat teleport in California or somewhere like that to get onto 180°E. [/QUOTE]
