You're not in the footprint.

Here is an active footprint map for 91W.....

You can zoom into your location and see whats available signal wise, but you really need to be within the pink area for a good signal, if your close but outside the footprint you may need a bigger dish for more gain.

If you are just outside foot print a Bigger Dish will pull in more signal/gain like Terryl said

33" to 39" dish should give him a 15 to 20 or so points increase over a 20" dish, which may be enough. Snow/rainfade will probably come into play.

I have to use a 2 meter dish for 129W and I'm inside the footprint, some signals have dips and valleys in their signals, a bigger dish may help.

Try this site...
https://www.dishpointer.com/ enter your location then select 91W it may help you with what size dish you may need.

Accckk never-mind, they have changed the site, dish size doesn't show anymore.......My fault.

I went to satbeams, and clicked right on the edge of the footprint for 91W, (Wilkes-Barre) it shows a 30 inch dish would be needed, so in my opinion I would go with maybe a 1 meter size dish.
