Does lnb 180 degrees out make any difference?

Okay, here's an easy one: does it matter which way the lnb is oriented, as long as it's getting its polarities correct? I'm still messing the with the C band setup, and I'm trying to figure out why I could get decent signal with Anik F1 when I had the dish set up temporarily on the deck, and now I can't find it at all. I turned the lnb 90 degrees to get the polarities right, and it works fine, but it's as if its lost some sensitivity. I might turn it 180 just to see what happens, I know it can't hurt. For the record, on the GeoSat pro twin I have the 0 degree mark at the 9:00 position. Having it straight up was giving me readings with reverse polarity.

180 shouldn't make any difference.
