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.
Within these, the respective channel packages can be received with good
video and audio quality. In the marginal zones reception is possible, although
the quality of the signals received can vary considerably.
The inner line of the
footprint here shows
the area covered by the
digital signals from the
ASTRA satellite.
The outer dashed line of
the footprint displayed
here shows the area that
is covered by individual
ASTRA satellite. There-
fore not all channels
are available within this
footprint.
