They make them in the UK, and they program them for you to suit what satellites you use in your area, the * C question was not on my behalf, I guess there are some installers "up north" that use the same meter, they send you the program by e-mail and you download it onto your satellite meter, I love my satellite meter as it "Names" the satellite when you find it, and it only takes seconds to find any of the included birds, and as you know you want to find and tune in the satellites as quick as you can in these parts in the winter time! Or in summer time for that matter! Hope you are having a nice day.
