That gives a 30 minute loop, which I'm rather surprised is there to be honest as it is Meteosat-8. The best on the EUMETSAT page is only every 3 hours for this area. http://www.eumetsat.int/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=444&l=en The loop for NW Europe for instance is hourly.

I'm not sure what problem you're having with it, but it seems to load fine for me.

The satellites are owned by EUMETSAT with help from the ESA which are funded by tax payers in the EU so you have to pay to get more frequent data. Although if I bought a satellite dish and a decoder I could get the images for free but not display them on the internet.
