I assume it’s a similar process to take the data from the European EUMETSAT satellites? Other geostationary satellites are available: https://en.wikipedia.org

You quite often see a bank of clocks for each time zone, it would be good to have a geostationary image like this, from several different weather satellites.

The Meteosats don't directly disseminate, there is a service, EUMETCast, which broadcasts from commercial communications satellites, although you need a decryption key: https://www.eumetsat.int/website/home/Data/DataDelivery/EUMETCast/index.html https://www.eumetsat.int/website/home/Data/DataDelivery/EUME... The rationale behind this was that, in this way, you can receive the stream with off-the-shelf satellite TV hardware and a PC, and without special radio operator knowledge. This was of course well before the advent of cheap SDR devices.
