Officially no, Here is the estimated footprint. However, its a case of wait and see. The satellites often do better than expected.

Hotbird 8 has approximately the same footprint of hotbird 2,3,4 wide beam
and hotbrd 6 which has a smaller footprint is accessible in Pakistan so
definately hotbird 8 and 7a most frequencies will be receivable in Pakistan.

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.

Dont be so impatient. We dont have that many members in Pakistan, even fewer who are interested in Hotbird reception. Leave it a week. If you dont have any answer in that time - THEN you can think about asking again.

You also need to check your frequencies more carefully my friend - 12692H is on Hotbird 7A :D

you probably need to think about upgrading the dish to something larger if getting hotbird is that important to you
