RECEPTION RANGE / FOOTPRINT<br />
The footprint is the reception area on the earth that a satellite covers with its transmission beam (spot),<br />
within which satellite reception is possible. The transmission power is at its greatest in the centre of<br />
this spot – it becomes progressively weaker moving outwards.<br />
You should preferably align your antenna to the position of the ASTRA satellite 19.2° East (picture<br />
below left), EUTELSAT/HOTBIRD 13° East (picture below right). The spots for these satellites are<br />
shown below.<br />

The satellites broadcast the various channel packages in different footprints. The respective channel<br />
packages can normally be received within these footprint zones. In the marginal zones, reception<br />
is possible, although because of a variety of infl uencing factors this cannot be guaranteed. The quality<br />
of the channels received can vary considerably (for instance due to environmental factors).
