Well considering that is the footprint for astra 1N that was published by Astra a few months before launch of the satellite, and that has been carrying UK TV for over a year or so now, then no, you wil not lose channels, and will in fact have found that reception in Spain has actually improved.
And that is only showing one beam out of the 7 beams used for UK TV on the 4 UKTV satellites. So even if you did lose channels on that one beam, you will still have channels on 6 other beams.
Also that print does not show ANY thing with regards to signal strength or dish sizes required - just lines. So there is nothing on that to determine what sized dishes are required where. In fact as it is 1Ns print, we konw that a 1m dish gets the 1N channels nice and eay in Spain...so parhaps the outer line is the 80cm dish size..(but then I can get 1N on an 80cm dish here in Valencia - so even that is wrong!). Also these are alway "predicted" prints, not actual prints. And ,as with previous maps, the maps have always been a bit more conservative athan actual reception.
Sky dont own the satellies. Sky dont operate the satellitres. Sky dont control the footprints. Sky, and all the other UK TV broadcasters, rent space on the satellites from the satellite owners / operators. BBC ITV C4 and Five are nothing to do with Sky.
