Hi,

Does anybody know if the Digisat Pro meter displays sat info? Or am i i best forking out for a Lacuna meter or similar?

Cheers.
 
no it doesn't tell you what satellite you have aligned to, only just a signal strengh bar on an lcd screen

for anything like satellite NIT readout you will need a meter like the satlook micro, horizon hdsm v3 or wolsey/lacuna meter
 
Mine does, for example if i am pointed at 5.0e the display says "KRRT 4.8E" I have a pro 204
 
Can't find that model on the emitor site, have you got the spec?
 
Mine also does not. And btw, it's not a good investment I believe. Does same, as cheap finder.
 
Try the Satcatcher exel TV. Its got all the European channels in it, got a speccy, and will show picture and sound on the FTA channels. It also drives a diseqc motor! Comes with a handbook in english - well Yorkshire English actually - and a CD to write or edit the channel plans. We use them for all our work, including motorised.

OK, thanks, but that isn't the Digisat Pro the original poster was talking about, yours is a Swires meter and probably quite a bit more expensive.

Yes, it is a nice little meter, have seen them in action and was very impressed, but we are talking about a meter which costs in the region of £50, not £250. :)
 
don coolman. why is must be the 22khz ON for KU universal LNB to work on this meter. Is this normal? For C band no 22KHz is needed.
 
C-Band LNBs are single band, whereas a Universal LNB is dual band and uses a 22Khz tone to switch to high band.
 
Thanks I understand now. Higher frequencies (LO 10600) needs that band switching.
