Do you know which satellite it's on?

Maybe if you lived in St. Johns, NF, and had a 30 meter dish...

Sorry, ain't gonna happen. The sat (Astra, right?) is at 19.2° East and therefore won't be seen much outside of Europe (where it can be viewed easily with a 60cm dish).

I once had a crazy thought of living in St. Johns after my retirement, just to access the Euro satellites from there using a big dish with elevations of < 5 degrees.

I checked out the footprints of the Euro birds, and it looked like the Euro beams covered a big piece of land on the upper left hand corner. I thought that was the Maritimes.

As it turned out, that big piece of land was only Greenland.

Radio Televisao de Portugal Internacional

That big piece of land is the neatest place I ever been in my life, I lived there for 53 weeks. Beautiful place.

Here are some photos of "The Big Island in the North." Wish we had satellite TV back then. We had one channel that was on about 6 hours a day/night with reruns and delayed sporting events. We watched the 1972 Indianapolis 500 (ran Memorial Day) on the 4th of July. Now they have 75 to 100 live channels, via satellite, of course.

I forgot to note that the J-Site photo was taken around Noon, Atantic Standard Time.

Thanks for the RTPI clarification.

EuroSport is a pan-european sports channel with a lot of languages incl. German, English, French, Spanish ...
Every country has its own version of Eurosport but mostly it's the same content. Only Eurosport UK has an own logo ("British Eurosport") and in the UK is a 2nd Eurosport channel on air.
We also have "Eurosport News" in Europe.

In Brazil is a guy, that watches ASTRA 19.2°East with an 8 meter dish!

Yea, my first BUD. How was I to know that 11 years later I would have a bigger and better one.
