[QUOTE="c128, post: 779957, member: 332428"] Having trouble deciding between a Satlook Like and a First Strike FS1, although I have at least ruled out my choice being between an FS1 and a Sathero SH200 :) (thanks to helpful responses on this thread) : [URL]http://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/cdtronix/192332-sathero-sh200-dvb-s2-mpeg4-only-sale-just-%A399-1-week-only-2.html#post1014391[/URL] I guess my aims are rather limited, but I'm a bit fussy, and I quite like tweaking and fiddling with stuff to get the best that I can :-) . Anyway, I'm looking for a meter around the £150-ish mark (or a bit more/less) that will support: a future setup (from the UK) of 9E,13E,16E,19E (probably) on a TD dish with multi-bracket, general setup of 28E dishes here and there and a BADR4 "experiment" over Xmas. I might do something more involved in the future, and general "tweaking", but nothing motorised. I was basically sold on the FS1, but when my multi-bracket comes on-line I'd ideally like to check the setup from indoors now and again, so I guess that really means DiSEqC support as it will be on a 4:1 switch. So - it's DiSEqC, plus at least the interest value of the spectrum analyser, that's now drawing me towards the Satlook Lite, as price-wise the FS1 and Satlook Like look like they can be had for around £160. I've basically yet to read much bad about the FS1, and only some mention of failure rates for the Satlook Lite (but can't find much evidence). If the FS1 isn't really better in some respect, then I'd like to go for the Satlook Lite as DiSEqC support would be useful... Any views or experiences comparing the two, in light of the above? Or does another meter around the same price-point throw an interesting spanner into the works? [/QUOTE]
