I purchased a Orbital Tracker Light Digital Satellite meter recently. I travel in a RV periodically and set up Dish TV with a tripod. As soon as I received it, I tried to load the USB drivers supplied on the DVD and had no luck on three different computers. This means I am unable to upload a personal satellite list to the Tracker Light.

Last weekend, I bought a new Dish TV 1000.2 (3 port LNB) with a tripod and set it up on my TV using an analog meter that I've used for years. I have a good strong signal on all 3 satellites. I removed the cable from the receiver and plugged it into the Tracker Light. (I had previously added lat and long and copied the 3 satellites to the Trackers list.)

Everything seemed to work on the Tracker except the "Q" column, the signal quality column! It never showed any reading at all! The meter is worthless without this reading!

Will this meter work with a Dish 1000.2 antenna? Any information will be appreciated.
