The footprint is the area on the surface of the planet where the satellite aims its broadcasts. Some example footprint diagrams are to be found on the first link Kymmy provided above.

The closer to the edge of the footprint you are, the larger your dish needs to be in order to collect an adequate signal. However judging by the footprint diagram for Hellas2 your standard Sky or Freesat dish should be adequate.
