Satfinder, Satmeter, advice suggestions

I wonder if any of you guys have used DIGIPRO EXCEL-TV (satcatcher) or Trimax, both are light meteres with built in receiver to view the programme in adition to the signal level and quality. I have seen the ads and discription but still not sure about its reliability.
If you have used one then I like to here your advice on these two or similar alternatives. Being able to view channeles and to scan certain transponder on Arabsat (now Badr3) at 26' is very important for alighning the dish to this sat. As there are at least 3 popular boquet which require on the spot adjustment to get equal and satisfactory signal quality. Your responce is appreciated. I have seen many of your posts which indicates your experties on many issues. Hope this question have your answers.

My System: pb 600 digipro excel tv
satcatcher meters

There is a marked differance between the two meters you are talking about, in fact the trimax is not a meter at all, but a small receiver with lcd screen. the satcatcher will do everything you want for fine adjusting and finding weak signals . The tuner is very strong and sensitive and you can easily add all the transponders you need by hand without a PC. It is compatible world wide, with any lnb, and can be used to alighn to any satellite in the world ..dish size dependant of course. it is a professional meter with 2 years warrentee and is a european product ,serviced from the UK. I have tested the trimax in depth and all i can say is, it is not a meter ,you will have the same results with a free to air receiver and old tv set . the choice is yours.
