Ive made a guess as to locations within a country where no town is specified - if you want the pin moved make a note :)

You can add Krosno (Poland). Very good reception with 110 cm dish.
I'm sure a smaller dish (80-90 cm) would be enough too.

so eastern Bulgaria theoretically only requires 60-75cm; yeah pretty small really

Yeah @Analoguesat is right for the most part. In heavy rain I can lose them on the 1m but it's my very specific location in Burgas which is right at the coast. I get barely anything from 28e even the 2F random lobe that covers Bulgaria for some reason.

I can not pick up a signal in Leeds, UK but have 80cm dish, would a larger dish pick up Hotbird13E, 12616 frequency, Vivacom. Thanks

Yes, signal decreases very fast westwards.
I have sometimes no signal even with 180cm in the west of The Netherlands. (Also due to a tree standing in the path).
People in the east report reception with 80 cm.

Look at the map from this post:

Vivacom 13e

Hi Everyone Can anyone pick up the new VIVACOM package transponder on 13e ? Ive noticed it has The Voice and CITY on. I think the beam is out of reach for the UK Thanks!

You have no chance in Leeds with any hobby sized dish - as the map shows there is virtually no signal on any of the Viacom frequencies in the UK even with 2m or bigger dishes. The drop off in strength westward is incredible with this beam.

Many thanks, I finally got one straight answer, will abandon Vivacom and will switch to an app to watch the football

I still get them time & again in Carcassonne,the 2 folk channels. Limited interest. The "tv1" which has good music on evenings seems to have vanished ,too bad. Had good jazz & classical. Bulgaria seem to be a very musical nation!

this makes sense as the broadcast area is further east than the satellite (the opposite of UK spot beam)

OK, might take a short while, I need to strap up Ku-Band on the Green Lad (Precision 2.0m) and move the mobile pallet across the patio.
Hope to report back later today...

Frequencies seem to be:
12616 H
12635 V
12654H
12673V
12713V

Checked those frequencies on a Promax meter more than once this early afternoon into evening time here on a 2.2mtr PF 17K North of Nottingham with absolutely no signs at all of signals.
 
The Vivacom transponders are a bit weaker here (Motala Sweden) than before.
Now between 14,3 and 15,7 dB and still easy to get with an 110 cm antenna. 12635 V is the strongest one.
