Skew is very important. In fact it may have been what was causing your pixalation to begin with. Going to a larger dish will not compensate for alignment issues. I assume this is a fixed dish install. Start with the settings listed here at

Peak this signal and do a scan. Compare what you find with the lists at
LyngSat - Lyngemark Satellite to determine what sat you are on. Post this info and we will help you adjust from there. Skew is set by rotating the lnbf in it's mount. There is nothing in the receiver pertaining to it.
If you find you are west of your desired sat you will need to lower dish elevation and move to the east till you find signal again. Scan again and determine where you are. If you are east of the sat you are to low in the sky so raise the dish elevation and slowly move west until you find signal. Scan again to determine where you are. Keep doing this until you lock your desired sat. Now you can delete everything you previously found & do a complete clean scan.
