My Mom can watch the evening news again--your help is very appreciated! Mid 90's and higher for the most part. The AIM meter lets you do an EIV test that basically confirms the aiming process was done right (and gets the installer off the hook should future issues arise--at least that's what...

Hi Everyone--Installed the new dish and used the AIM meter to get the signal dialed in. AIM meter was crazy helpful without much of a learning curve. Ended up getting all of the channels including locals so problem solved. Really appreciate everyone's help!

Really appreciate everyone's help, will let you know how it goes in a couple weeks.

Thanks. Are the on-screen instructions on the AIM meter pretty easy to follow to get the 101 peaked? Tried dithering without the meter but couldn't get 99. What range of signal strength readings am I looking for on 99 to get those channels? There is one YT video on dithering with the AIM...

Just purchased an AIM meter for a very remote installation i'm having issues with and can't get a pro installer to help with given the remote location. Any tips on how to use it improve signal strength on the directv dish? Having trouble with sat 99w particularly. Will use the manual but am...
