My System: dvb s2 usb for pc |
just telling my idea, please tell me if i am wrong anywhere. instead of buying costly satellite meter I prefer given method for capture satellite signal. 1. buy any portable FTA receiver with facility to enter frequency. 2. buy portable black and white tv 3. buy power extension cable for tv and fta receiver. all cost you around usd $30. ok now when ever you want to capture satellite signal please follow given steps. 1. find which satellite signal you want to capture from lyngsat.com, dishpointer.com or any other same site. get direction and other details. 2. enter that frequency in to your fta receiver. 3. go to terrace, attach your lnb with receiver, give av out to portable bw tv., select your frequency in fta receiver and start moving dish until you get best signal. equipment setup will cost you around usd $30.  | ||

I always find myself recommending the TMs, it would be nice once in a while if I came accross something that performed better ans was as easy to use. | |||

I presume by frequency you mean the transponder values eg. 12525 V 27500 3/4 - but isn't there a danger that you might be catching same/similar frequency from another strong satelitte signal? | |||
