[QUOTE="c128, post: 829964, member: 332428"] Hi, I solved my initial problem in that I now have a meter that appears to work, but I've not really used it properly to give any constructive feedback on performance. The replacement I've received at least seems to have a fixed USB port (it hasn't dropped off yet!) and I've scanned my current setup at 28.2E, 13.0E and 19.2E - seems to pick up channels OK. The manual is very poor - it doesn't cover the full functionality of the meter at all and you kind of have to work it out for yourself. I wouldn't say it's massively intuitive, but you can work out what you need to do. Additional information on-line seems very sparse too - at least in English. Putting aside tuner sensitivity, etc., as I can't really comment on that until I've had it outside and used it trying to align a dish properly, my first impressions of the build quality stand - to me it seems very cheaply made for the money: cheap plastic-y construction and a poor case that partly obscures some of the buttons and doesn't align on the sockets correctly. Basically you don't feel that you've got a great bit of "kit" in your hands when using it. As I said though, can't really comment on how it works until I manage to get outside with it and fine-tune my current dish install, so I might be a bit more favourable if I have a positive experience there. I'll post back when I know a bit more... [/QUOTE]
