Intelsat 903 34.5° West - FOX News (signal in Europe)

You cant get it . It is continous stream,even PC cards cant get a clear picture.

145cm should be enough for those TV channels.

Is anyone looking/watching? NSS 7 @ 20° West .

You're confused with the signal on Intelsat 10-02 (1W), that one is in multistream. With the right PC card you should be able to decode it (on a PC).

do someone have experience with 34w?
how strong signal in NorthEast Europe?

Refine "NorthEast Europe". Finland? Baltic states?

yes I have c-band LNB, at moment on 11W , how realistic is with 130 or 145 cm parabola dish ,get 34W?

The shown footprint are all the (hemi) beams together, not the global beam.
Global beam had a EIRP of max. 31 dBW, 145 cm won't be sufficient for that. (Source: Satbeams)

You'd best first try the Nutaaq(Greenland)-mux on this bird: 4045L,DVB-S2/QPSK,SR:13500,FEC:2/3. That signal should be strong enough in whole Europe. Or maybe the RTI channels (Ivory Coast), 3658R and 3676R,DVB-S,SR:3300/3220,FEC:3/4 on the East Hemi beam. If "NorthEast Europe" means Scandinavia, you could reveive those probably too. If elsewhere in Eastern Europe I guess not (with 135-145cm).

After that you peaked the dish to those signals you could try the global beam, but I won't give you much change.
But if you do receive the channel, please tell us here (and your location).

The Coverage Map is from Flysat and as per the very clear words at the top of the image, it shows the Hemi, Zone & GLOBAL BEAMS, hence the circle/square at the edges of the image!!!!

Which are exactly the same as this at SatBeams.com :

The only thing I wanted to point out is that if you show a picture of all the beams together it is confusing, especially if there are no EIRP values in the footprint.
The picture is indeed from Flysat but resembles very much the "official" C-band footprint pictures from Intelsat which by the way do not mention the Global Beam:



That's why I reffered to the picture on Satbeams which does mention the Global Beam apart from others.
In my opinion that is much more clear for the TS because EIRP is much, much lower than suggested.

Marval 's right:the continous streams can not be seen clearly.To see them need a demodulator dedicated for this type of stream.
Here's what he looks like such a media stream:

if on my receiver work 27w bbc, then should work Fox News at 34w?

Depends on the area in which you are,but you need an antenna of at least 1.5 m to catch signal to the limit and if FEC is still 1/2.I received FoxNews and other packets from 34.5 W last year with an antenna of 1.5 m:
