Agreed, but it's easier to say that than say "remember to apply a few degrees of skew". It will work even if it's a couple of degrees out. My old 60cm dish was fine on Analogue up to about 10 - 15 degrees of skew without too many sparklies and darklies appearing. At least moving it to vertical would most likely confirm the issue. It can be tweaked later.
