interference. Putting foil (yes i try almost everything) near LNB doesn't
affect interference level too.

Can you get access to some kind of spectrum analyser kit to see what the
kind of interference is?

Yes, on short (few minutes) sweeps it is clean. During long time run, with 100 
Khz resolution, if we run few hours we can catch anomalies on the carrier. 
Important note: this snapshot done on spectrum analyser in Europe, same 
transponder, and results similar, so it looks like interference is on 
transponder. Issue start to affect us at same time when people in Lebanon got 
local interference issues.

Here is snapshot of carrier spectrum with anomaly:

And does this interference similarly screw up being able to RX data from
the transponder whilst in Europe?

(eg, if you stick a modem on RX-only in Europe (ie, no uplink) and then
just lock onto the signal and decode whatever happens, do you suffer
the same problem?)
