    Once the dish and motor are properly aligned you never really with them unless the wind or a huricane blows it of course. Unless you are a sat installer I think spending ?100 for a sat meter seems a bit excessive.

      How come you only ever see the cheap whislting ones or the bigger expensive ones..... where do you get the small digital read-out ones with the nice low tone sounding noise like the one you see that guy with in the GBsat youtube vid?

        Have had a sat meter now for approx 8 yrs......hardly ever use it........it cost me about ?250 then.

        Unless yuo are using it every day....in my opinion, a waste of money.

        All ive ever needed is a good compass to find S .....thor sat around this area........you can work out all other positions from this.
