I am in South Africa and aiming at Pas 7/10. I get excellent signal strength (80-90%) but poor quality levels, as bad as 0-5% on some transponders but up to 50% on others. This is with a 1.8m mesh dish (about 6' ?) and a 17' LNB. I have the same problem with a 2.4m mesh dish (same LNB) aiming at BadrC (26.2E). Please advise.
Low signal quality

Not sure where in South Africa you are, but looking at the footprint of the downlinks, you may be in an area in which you need a larger dish, according to this for BADR-C:

I'm on the other side of the Earth for either of those sats, so I can't look and see.
