but as we know and what written on eutelsat official site Hotbird only have one beam not like other sattelites, we can receive every TP and all packages just this package with this situation, it's weird.

Probably not so weird, this is something new on Eutelsat 13G and is not published yet, and many other new satellites added this restricted beams. Only the first days of transmissions Eutelsat used the wide Europe beam with Vivacom, but as soon as their frequencies were moved to the “super beam”, Western Europe countries lost signal. These narrow beams are developed for a delivery restricted area, and signals drops dramatically in a very short distance as soon as you are far away from the beam focus.

Nope, it was always "Super Beam" but the first days it was illuminating North-West Europe and signal was zero in Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey etc.
Then they decided to do the opposite which is fine for people like me in South-East Europe ;)
It's still early days, who knows what will come next...

do you think this is something new in the sattelite, because this is the first time the sat has another beam, all the TP's has the same beam before.

I think this is a test period and the package will move to wide beam if they decide to stay, but it's only my opinion.

As I said above, I don't think it will stay like this.
If the package moves to wide beam, you'll be able to receive it like the rest of the sat, or maybe they'll decide to broaden this beam - it's very unusual as it is now.
