Do I need bigger dish?

After spending 2 days looking for T-5 I could not achieve more than 80% level, 0% quality. So, I decided to see if the equipment was even working and aimed it at Echostar 3. There I got 79% level, 39% quality. Quality would go no higher no matter what I tried. I did get the international channel promotion. Very sporadic freeze framing. Any help appreciated:

Satworks ST3688
Hotbird 75cm dish
DMS International Ku LNBF model ASC 321 (standard ku lnbf 55db gain)
75 feet RG-6
Mounted on 5 foot pole cemented in ground.

Lat: 34.9 N
Long: 82.2 W
Zip code 29651

Thank you in advance
