Trimax SM-1100 Satellite Meter from DMSI

[Scott Greczkowski]

I honestly thought that the Fortec HD receiver was going to be the coolest thing I would see at the show, however Tim from DMSI slid me a box this morning and told me to take a look.

I truely was blown away with what I saw....

A new Satellite Meter which we will see later this year from DMSI distributers nationwide.

But this was not just a Satellite Meter, this satellite meter got a built in FTA Tuner and a video screen, so not only can you aim your dish but you can also WATCH what your tuned into! AMAZING and all in one small 6 inch box!

The unit comes in a nice leatherette case which besides protecting your meter acts as a sun visor to help block the sun. And its rechargabe as well it comes with the carrying case, a shoulder strap, wall power plug, a cigerette lighter power supply and USB cable.

I know I would LOVE one of these units as everytime I work on my FTA setup I drag out my 17 inch LCD TV, my Fortec Receiver and an extension cord. WELL NO MORE OF THAT with the Trimax SM-1100.

Any idea on the cost of that thing?

Yea, that was my first thought.
Are we talking the $500, $800, $1000, $1200, or $1500 price range?

A little too rich for my blood, but I can see installers out there paying through the nose for 'em.
Heck of a product!

I heard the planned pricing and was shocked at how low it was. It will be around the cost of a standard Birddog meter.

Too bad this thing couldnt tune in to ATSC/NTSC sigs too. Thats something that Im looking for is a new sat meeter with Digital OTA pointing abilities too.
