You can do it , no retirement talk allowed.thank you Iceberg and jayelem for the very good pointers. if i dont get it with all your advice i'll retire from the hobby.
I'm also using a sat finder meter, but i only use it once i find the sat so i can fine tune it.
Not sure if I understand , you plan on using the meter after you find the sat for fine tuning .......
Your Quality meter from your TV is better for fine adjustments than the Analog Sat finder.
But your Analog Sat Finder is much more sensitive and better for finding the actual satellite ( My Opinion from experience of course ).
Connect Sat finder between LNB and receiver (WARNING : always power off receiver COMPLETELY when disconnecting or connecting coaxial from LNB) adjust knob on Sat meter until you hear tone , adjust sensitivity so that the needle isn't buried to the max and begin to search the sky while tuned to specific frequency , once tone increases continue lowering sensitivity and adjusting dish for tuning purposes , your TV will guide you the rest of the way once you get a decent quality reading.
By the way I really like using the sat meter and find it very handy , eventhough you can view the TV from a window How far is it from you dish ?
The reason I ask is that I tried several times looking at my TV 15 ft away thru the window pane and the daylight glare was awful , got better results when I used a tiny monitor exactly behind the dish .... I know that this can be difficult if you're on a pitched roof or tight space......
Keep us informed on your progress .......
