Zero Quality On Pansat 2300 System

Have it all connected per Pansats (& other) instructions. I have the (95cm) dish aimed at Telstar 5 (azimuth & elevation) as closely as I can get it with compass, level, etc. Tested the circuit with SF99 inline checker & I get appropriate signal (green) & receiver power (red) light indications. Have checked & double checked receiver menu & other settings to the best of my "newbie" ability.

All I get is a signal level of 50% and 0 quality. I tried slowly adjusting azimuth a degree or two at a time from the initial aimed azimuth to plus and minus 10-15 degrees either side. Also tried small changes to the elevation (but I believe it was already accurately set). Had a helper watch signal & quality all the time as I varied dish azimuth, etc. but neither level or quality ever changed at all. I tried (don't know if this should work or not)
putting a metal pot cover in front of the LNBF for grins as well. Even this didn't have any affect on the signal or quality levels.

One thing puzzles me though. There is a "skew" angle setting on the Panset receiver menu that says 45 degrees. I have no idea what it should read. Please advise what this setting should be.

Do you have any ideas what may be wrong here?
