Hello All, I bought a "Satlook Miro G2" sat meter on a Recommendation from this forum. I am near Malaga and some of my cable runs are longer than I would like so I need to get every last bit from my dish and LNB.I previously used a receiver set on signal and a television, although I got a reasonable result I needed something better,enter the the Satlook,I put it on "easyfind" it has Astra 28E programmed into it and when I connected it to the LNB it immediately bleeped and locked.By default it has a beeper which goes higher in pitch with better signal,at first I thought this was irritating but now find it great as I seem to be able to remember the highest pitch I have heard,not only that it has peak hold on the signal strength bar so you don't find yourself thinking "did I get it higher than that before?". Although the screen is only a small 3" B&W affair but it can be seen in the brightest of sunlight.The slightest touch on the dish sends the signal strength bar up or down,I used to lose some channels in the afternoon but now I don't.So far so good I have now done what the manual says is the first step,I am now supposed to go to the digital section of the meter but it fails to say what I am supposed to do or what I am supposed to look for, can anyone help ? also I bought my (nondescript) quad LNB some years ago would I get better results with a better one?
