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 emit the various channel packages in different footprints.
In the main reception area (inner lines), all channels can be received
with good sound and picture quality (exception: EUTELSAT II F1 –
wide beam). In the marginal zones (outer lines), reception is possible,
although the quality of the signals received can vary considerably.
