[QUOTE="Likvid, post: 106273, member: 176379"] Telstar 15W is the closest to U.S programming feeds, sometimes HBO sends their movies there and sometimes some other channels, it's very sporadic. In the "old" days i know people on the Canaries Islands that received U.S TV channels from the old C-band satellites, the old Satcom satellites and Galaxy, they had wide beams and just touching the islands with both sidelobes and weak signals, 8-9 meter dishes was possible. Now satellites have much more narrow beams and they can concentrate it much more so it's not any fun anymore, it's all very commercial these days, not liked the good old times. [/QUOTE]
