Excellent stuff!

This is the sort of info that should be in the general fringe reception section -- so I'll move it there. :)

yes I am receiving all the channels of hotbird HOT234Kw and Hot006Kb beam (as on satcodx list )channels.It is very hard to adjust the dish and the LNB but I managed to do so after some mechanical alterations to the feed of the LNB as normal LNB are for OFFset dishes and we generally use prime focus deep dishes causing great signal loss

Well friends before I was getting HB 4 on six feet(180cm) dish and as the HB8 arrived the fringe reception has degraded and I am unable to receive valuable signals from HB8 on the same setup. Signal from other satellites are visible.Any body from Pakistan receiving signals of HB8 like 12692,12360 and others on any setup please reply
