Review on πŸ“‘ GT MEDIA V8 Satellite Finder Meter TV DVB-S/S2/S2X Signal Receiver H.264 Sat Detector - HD 1080P FTA 3.5" LCD - Built-in 3000mAh Battery - Perfect for Adjusting Sat Dish by Matt Welch

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Confusing at first, but it WORKS!

I have been using a Dish Network 3 LNB HD home antenna on a portable stand with my RV for several years. With the old VIP style DVR, the satellite guidance system worked fine. When I upgraded to Hopper3 I went from setting up a parabolic dish in about 15 minutes to not being able to fix satellites after several attempts over several hours. In the end I gave up and called Master. They couldn't come until my next trip so they found this counter in Revane. Ordered and received in 2 days. The meter can do a lot more than I need but after a little experimentation and using a satellite tracking app for my Android phone I can now pick up signals on all three LNBs 2-3 minutes after alignment. mounting frame. It made a big difference in the process. I highly recommend this device to help you set up your satellite dish manually. I think it will be the same with DirecTv but I have no experience with their system. Good luck and rest assured that this will reduce stress while camping. It's worth the money and a lot cheaper than buying a whole new automatic antenna.

Pros
  • Satellite finder
Cons
  • Slightly torn
