[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 408299, member: 256551"] The cheapest meters you can get cost only £5-£10. They just have a needle on and a gain control. Adequate for a one-off set-up. Maplin sell them for about a tenner. You can check what sat you're on with the receiver. A virtually free method is to use a portable TV connected via a long aerial cable to the UHF output of the box. Place the TV in a position in the garden, so that you can easily see it whilst making adjustments to the dish elevation and motor azimuth. Yeah did mine on Hotbird too, not out of choice though, my dish is too small to lock onto anything else closer to my due south. Den123 has 1m odd dish so he should'nt have a problem with 5W. [/QUOTE]
