RECEPTION RANGE / FOOTPRINT

The footprint is the reception area on the earth that a satellite covers with its transmission beam (spot),

within which satellite reception is possible. The transmission power is at its greatest in the centre of

this spot – it becomes progressively weaker moving outwards.

You should preferably align your antenna to the position of the ASTRA satellite 19.2° East (picture

below left), EUTELSAT/HOTBIRD 13° East (picture below right). The spots for these satellites are

shown below.

The satellites broadcast the various channel packages in different footprints. The respective channel

packages can normally be received within these footprint zones. In the marginal zones, reception

is possible, although because of a variety of inﬂ uencing factors this cannot be guaranteed. The quality

of the channels received can vary considerably (for instance due to environmental factors).
