The following is a "guesstimate" of Echostar 4's coverage from 77° Before it was re-aimed to serve the US.
77° is a Mexican satellite location which has been granted authority to broadcast to the US..

The spot beam numbers are different than the maps linked at the bottom of the page, but they show a rough area where the signal is available from each spot beam for E*7, 8 and R1.

The following map was sent to the Echostar Knowledge Base via e-mail.  The author of the e-mail requested the map be included on this page:

 
The shaded areas of the following map indicate where a Dish 1000 CANNOT be used.  Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands are not shaded, but it is assumed this was an oversight.  Click on the map to see full sized map.
