---------- HotBird 4 turns super; reception reports
 EuroSport and Fashion TV are now being used to test the super beam on
HotBird 4; I can not longer receive them at all. By the way, Intelsat
806 has now reached 57 degrees west and is testing, so if you can pick
anything up, let me know. Here are some reception reports:

Liège (Belgium), 1.2m dish, Monterey 40
Good pictures from both Astra 1D and HotBird 4.
(André Corteil)

near Dublin, 1m dish, 0.7dB LNB, Echostar LT8700, Nokia 9200

HotBird 4: Sparklie free on 10.727 H, 10.935 V.
