Hi Kymmy, just an update.
I recieved the satellite meter and set it up last night used a print out from dishpointer to get a general direction to point the dish, started getting green bars on both signal and quality, BUT 0% on the meter, so i selected search on the box and it found all the channels.
Baffled as to why i was getting no signal on the meter i looked in to it, only to find i had accidentally turned the volume down whilst attaching the cables
then i nearly got defend with 99% reading
