Thanks a lot everyone for the help and suggestions, I now see that I can receive hotbird but when I try to find a 13E all my receiver allows me to do is choose Transponder TP13, is that the same thing? Now when it does a search it looks like it's going through all the Transponders on Hotbird, is that right? It says:
1.Hotbird TP XX/106 YYYYYMMHz 275000K sps and where the X's and Y's are changing quite quickly. Sorry for being a bother about all of this and being rather dense. As I said before I'm using a Mondeal 9000 Gold MON2004 I haven't updated the software since the day I got it so I wouldn't know from adam what to do. I tried searching once and to no avail. Am I doing the scan right? Am I being really dense here? I'm sorry about being such a bother again, and many thanks for the help so far!
I don't know how to work your receiver obvously, as I don't have it.
But..
Stored inside the receiver for every satellite there is a transponder list.
In the setup menu somewhere, you should be able to gain access to what transponders it has stored for 13E. In that list, if you want the channel you mentioned then the tranponder that bigtee posted has to be there. On lyngsat it is listed as TP72.

If you have not got it, then you will need to add it, including the frequency,polarisation and symbol rate, and possibly FEC (possibly automatically set).
Again, how to add transponders is receiver specific.
BUt once it is there, all you have to do is tell the receiver to scan that tp and the channel you desire should appear at the bottom of you channel list.
and dont worry, you are not a bother
