If you are looking for a "simple affordable" SA for dish installation, get an analog one such as SAtlook Mk3. It is a nice unit for dish installation but you won't be able to see the bandwidth and other cool things in the real SA.
BLSA is a nice tool to have for feed hunter but the scan rate is really slow, not really useful for dish installtion.
Keep an eye on ebay for used Avcom units such as PSA35/37...you might get one less than $500....
HP and Tektronik are probably out of hobbiest budget unless you are willing to spend tons of $ for them, and have a pretty good knowledge on how the SA works in order operate these units and ultilize all the functions.
Good luck

Well I've done enough installs without the help of an analyzer and I'm ready to pick one up. I have plenty of experience with them, though they're more of the bench type.
What's everyone using here?
