Realtime meteosat data is restricted.  You can get some data from
the ADDE server GP16.SSD.NESDIS.NOAA.GOV from the Dataset PUB.
Enter these in the appropriate fields in the Satellite Choooser.
Look for the Image Data Types that start with MEGLOB.  Be
sure to use the properties widgets to make reasonable 
size images.

Here's a pointer to publicly accessible ADDE servers and the available
datasets:
