Satellite signal meter questions

[356B]

I'm looking to buy a new or used signal meter. I have needs for both DishTV and Direct TV. Through study I have discovered that not all meters are equal, some don't even seem to operate with Dish TV satellites Does anyone have experience with a quality digital meter without breaking the bank.
Thank you
