For EU people, this is a US geostationary satellite so no luck there, We have meteosat but its encrypted and have to pay a fee to use :( , even the russian (non geostationary meteor series) can be accessed freely.

It is possible to receive images from the NOAA satellites outside the US though, since they're polar-orbiting: https://www.rtl-sdr.com/rtl-sdr-tutorial-receiving-noaa-weat...
GOES sats are geostationary but the NOAA APT satellites are encircling the planet and you can pick them up. Old tutorial but still relevant, just use "noaa-apt" tool[0] instead of WXtoImg. https://www.rtl-sdr.com/rtl-sdr-tutorial-receiving-noaa-weat...

Yeah, I've done it, built my own antenna and the whole receiving, the Meteor-M2 was in the same wavelength range and could be received but got hit my a meteorite January of last year
