[QUOTE="Mickha, post: 1135935, member: 187442"] The problem with a 44cm dish is that you need to be extremely accurate, and patient, when setting up, as finding a signal is sometimes tricky, depending on weather conditions, location, The advantage of a very cheap satellite meter is that it offers a quick check, of your system, and produces a signal even if the dish is pointing at the ground. If power is getting to the LNB, from a receiver, and from the LNB, then it lights up, showing that your connections are good, it is also extremely easy to use, as a basic starting point. Once everything is working, cable from receiver, to meter, then a short cable from the meter, to the LNB, it should light up and emit an audible tone, as statalite has mentioned, you then rotate the knob, or sometimes press a button, until the meter reads about half way, thus decreasing the sensitivity. You then adjust the dish, gently, until the needle moves to full, 10, then adjust the sensitivity again, to 5, and nudge the dish again. You keep doing this until you have the strongest signal possible, then check your receiver, to see what satellite you're locked on, or use the Dr HD 1000. [/QUOTE]
