[QUOTE="Fisty McB, post: 1138138, member: 389824"] The main issue there is with those meters Mickha mentions is that they can't tell you what satellite position you're pointing at - only to indicate that you're receiving a signal from somewhere! However, once you are certain that your dish/LNB is aligned on the right satellite position, they are very good for "peaking" reception due to their analogue nature where you can increase or decrease the sensitivity of the meter by a simple turn of the knob against the needle display. [SIZE=3][I](There would also be issues in cases where raw signal strength isn't the main thing you're after e.g. receiving Badr4 signals at 26E in the face of strong co-channel signals from the Astra 2 satellites at 28E, where quite often nudging the dish slightly west of 26E e.g. 25.7E, could help improve the signal quality of the wanted Badr4 signals - but that's not really relevant here.)[/I][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
