    Satellite Signal Meter, Lower Cost Choices ?(Starband Problems)

    Well besides the transmitter, I ordered the NJR2544HWN which carries the .6 rating. It consists of just the small block with the coaxial end for the cable. No new lens or other parts.

    Are there any low cost Satellite Signal Meters suitable for the tight budgeted home user ? The Bird Dog looks great, but there's no way I can afford it. Even the used ones on ebay run over $100. With medical bills and the cost of living, money is very tight right now. I upgraded my Starband...

    Upgrade StarBand 360 To Nova Pro

    Cool... that sounds very do-able...... So the answer from Ron Beck in reply to my inquiry to StarBand Customer Service was either inaccurate or blowing me off... Is there any kind of incentive program for existing StarBand 360 customers to upgrade ? Is the Nova Pro modem priced at $199. ...

    I have StarBand 360 and I've been trying to get some straight answers from StarBand regarding the Nova Pro since December. So far getting responses from them is an exercise in futility.

    I would have thought the satellite receiver would be more apt, just an assumption on my part in thinking satellite DVRs are different than those used with cable & straight over-the-air-waves transmissions. I appreciate the links and will check them out. Thanks, J.R.
