I know others have asked similar, but I haven't been able to find exactly what I'm looking for so forgive me for re-asking.

I recently purchased a Terk s26 dish with the triple-lnb to help me get HDTV via DirecTV etc. It has the 4 multiswitch built into the lnb.

My question is... what signal meter could I use to simplify the installation of this dish? I understand it now has 3 lnb's so lining it up will be a bit more tricky than it was with a single, so I'm ready to purchase some help. I'd prefer not to spend hundreds on digital pro style equipment if a $10 meter would work... but then again I want to be sure I can align it correctly for HDTV and not struggle just to save a buck or two.

Can someone recommend a meter, and where to buy?
 
Set the tilt and elevation on the dish, and aim 101 from port #1. If you have a meter with a 22KHz tone, turn it (the tone) off. Once you have 101 peaked, everything else should be fine. Or, of course, you can buy the Birdog. ;)
 
I use digistat II and nail it everytime

find your tilt setting set it , and set your elevation then sweep your azimuth
you should be able to find all
