I don't see any examples of the other case, but sometimes 1 sat will aim at South America and another at North America.
True but with most DVB FTA receivers (at least the under $200.00 ones) do not "know" what they are looking at. That info could be programmed into a receiver so as it would output what sat you are actually receiving from but at present you can name a sat "frog" and as long as it sees freqs it is aligned on "frog"
