The different colored circles represent approximate signal strengths. The strongest signal will be within the innermost oval. In general, reception is possible via a normal Dish antenna as long as one is within the outer oval. A larger antenna would be required to have a chance of reception outside the outermost oval.
Spot Beam 11 is the HD feed on 129W and spot beam 41 is the SD feed on 110W. Different sats = different positions = different shaped beams although position is not the only determiner of beam shape.
