yeah I"v had a WS-6906 for some time and for the price you wont get a better meter you get full picture/signal/quality/ber.easy to pre-load from an existing dish with any sat/channels.easy to add new TPs etc.I did make a hood for it as the display needs shielding in sunlight.

Did you buy a ?65 meter to set up one dish ? If your a sat installer i can understand. But for a one off job...why not just buy a cheap one for a fiver.
