C band is alot more forgiving as far as tracking of the arc than Ku band.You might need to tweak your dish and or the feed assembly.

If you are using a Linux box, make sure your tuner configuration is correct. With most c/ku LNBFs, the L.O. frequency = 9.75 / 10.6 GHz (Universal LNB). Set the Tone mode to "Band", so you scan both the upper and lower ku bands.

You may want to review: Tutorial 2: Configuring the Satellite DVB-S2 Tuner(s)

Also try scanning 95°W, 103°W and 125°W where there are strong ku signals available.
