The Horz transponders are 3 clicks away on the motor from the Vert transponders.
The white sharp Lnb pulled the Horz transponders stronger but lost some Verts.

11747V and 11785V can be received with a 120cm dish at around 6.45pm.

If you want to receive Badr 6 then i recommend you try and lock these transponders.
If you can get these with a strong signal above 75% to 98% quality then you should have a good chance with badr 6.
12608H 3000
12666H 2600
12614V 2960
then try 11747V at 6.45pm

Good luck.
