Which is the best satellite meter which tells you which satellite the dish is currently aligned to and the current signal level on the dish.

Some links would be helpful.

lol i have a £10 meter and it works like a charm. just line up with 28.2 east and confirm by tuning to bbc news. do the same for 30 west on bbc world then line up to 0.8 west. if you can hit those three the rest will all fall in no problem, all without having to re-mortgage your house on a sat meter.

Still a tried and tested method. I did one in Jan for a friend using the signal test on the box worke a treat.
