[QUOTE="Huevos, post: 797859, member: 301161"] I'm not saying anything of the kind. But that the Canaries bulge is not on any current official footprint maps for the 1n satellite. Is it just a theory added later to explain why the spot beam doesn't perform as some people had expected? And even if there were a secondary spot beam for the Canaries why would it be active while the satellite is being used in this role? Also, you have to see that 1N is already a pretty tight spot beam. I'm only 1.5º off axis and to get the same signal that a zone 1 minidish would in the central UK I still need a 1.8m dish. And that is under our almost permanently clear skies. I would draw a parallel with the reception of this beam here something similar to the 1ºW K1 spot in the UK. Needs a 1m dish for 24 hour pixel free reception and even then the dish size is borderline, i.e. it won't hold up with dew or rain. [/QUOTE]
