Should be no problem with the Wolsey meter, if it is the one I think, it is very similar to the one the Sky installers use, used to use a similar one myself. I use an Emitor Satlook NIT, or my Unaohm Spectrum analyser, but the more basic meters are still very helpful and save a lot of time.

What is the model and have you got a picture? You normally use the Bit Error reading to fine tune.

If it has two buttons, then the bottom one will give you a quality reading, this is what you fine tune with.
