C Band and a 120cm dish... pointless?

I was given a terrible ground mount 120cm dish. I paired it with a Titanium C140 lnb and have only been successful locking onto 105w 3881H. I scan in and can watch the CH-1, CH-2 and CH-3 channels but no matter what, nothing else locks.

Where the dish is currently sitting I can only see a small portion of the arc. I'm wondering if there are any other birds out there that might be possible before I try moving it somewhere else. Or is it a lost cause and I should just put a KU lnb on it? I'm located in Southern Nevada if that matters. Thanks

I've received watchable channels using a 1-metre and a 1.2-metre dish on C-band from 139W, 117W, 115W, 105W, 101W, 97W and 91W in recent months. Many of the channels received were from Mexico therefore in Spanish. Blind scan those satellites and you may be lucky to receive some.
