Re: One dish, 3 satellites??

Why on earth would you NOT use a meter?
I COULD walk to the seaside... But I'd rather use my car!

Hi. Its not obligatory to use a meter.. if you are happy to use one fine but not everybody needs to. What does a meter do that your hands, eyes and a portable tv doesnt do??.. As already explained i know how to find satellites .In my opinion there is nothing difficult about it , it requires common sense most of the time. As for going to the seaside nowadays they dont want you to use your car anyway i think they call it 'saving the planet' or whatever..

Happy metering.

Hi popeye.. Its not a question of good eyesight. Its to do with knowing where the sats are and when you have installed so many dishes and motors it becomes like clockwork.. thats why i dont need sat meters. Its very easy to find satellites if you remember that west is right and east is left..and you need steady hands.
Take care.

surely it would be easier to peak the dish on the ladder with a meter instead up/down/up/down the ladder all the time using a quality meter opn a stb which isnt as accurate as a proper field meter and a decent horizon hdsm usb+ can be picked up second hand for ?120 to ?150. i only fit dishes as a hobby now and then but i still have a meter! regards mdt
