Regarding satelliteman's comments would it help if i deleated TP 12.034H 27500- ¾ off my system for 23.5’E & 28.2’E. Wouldn't be too worried about doing that- you can always input them again if required.

Wont help - when you are trying to pick up the Badr signals you are getting off axis signal from 23.5E & 28E "leaking" into the system.

The way to fix it is a bigger dish as bigger dishes have narrower acceptance angles - a standard sized dish has an acceptance angle of about 2 degrees either side of the main focal position.

Look at it like this - you are looking for an exceptionally weak signal and its just getting swamped by the same frequencies on the satellites either side.
