Satellite Coverage Map

Television satellites are located in fixed positions above the Earth’s equator
and beam TV signals down to certain regions of the planet (not worldwide).

To receive TV signals from a satellite, you must be located within that satel-
lite’s unique coverage area.

Satellite Coverage Map

Satellite TV broadcast spot beams are aimed at land masses where the bulk of subscribers can be
found. Thus, the signal strength decreases as you travel away from the land masses. The further
you travel offshore you will require a larger size antenna. Although this information is believed
to be correct, Ocean TV has no control over the variations on the actual satellite footprint cover-
age. Signal strength and reception can be affected by the weather conditions.

NOTE: All of New Zealand - North and S outh Islands have complete Satellite Coverage
