Also without a spectrum you can only adjust once you have signal lock. With a spectrum you can see a satellite and recognize it without signal lock.
I never used a meter at all and found Sats without a problem.

I use a free app called dmsatfinder it links to the box from your phone and gives the exact reading what is on the receiver snr and agc and even channel name! so you can fine tune. (obviously it has to be wi-fi enabled)
