Footprints: Satellite Transmission Areas - Glomex PANDORA V8000 Manual Del Usuario E Instalación

8.1 FOOTPRINTS: SATELLITE
TRANSMISSION AREAS
Satellite television is one of the few means which
allow receiving information in any part of the world
within the coverage area of the satellite you wish to
receive.
The signal transmitted by the satellite generally has
a wide coverage area, as shown in the purely
indicative footprints below, and thus guarantees
vision of the same TV programmes in various
areas.
However, it is important to remember that ground
obstacles are the main causes of satellite antenna
malfunction.
Ground obstacles include all bodies which could be
located between satellite and antenna, such as
masts of other boats, bridges, on-board equipment,
etc.

The signal transmitted by the satellite is also
affected by weather conditions (storm clouds or ice
clouds).
The footprints show the satellite coverage areas on
the Earth by using the PANDORA V8000 and
URANIA 2 V9330 satellite antennas.
In case of bad weather, signals will be weaker;
therefore, the image quality could be reduced, up
to completely fading away. It is also very important
to make sure, upon purchase, that the dimensions
of the satellite antenna are the most appropriate
ones to receive the signal in the areas where you
spend your holiday. Footprints are indicative and
referred to the satellite with the strongest E.I.R.P.
(EQUIVALENT ISOTROPIC RADIATED POWER).
