Recommendations for satellite finder/meter

[keith915]

Installing a nice new Humax Foxsat 500gb HD box to replace Sky for the grandmother. Have bought new quad lnb for existing sky dish. By the sounds of it Freesat uses the same satellite as Sky, but in case it needs tweaking I need a finder/meter.

Any excuse to buy some tools

I use one of these: Satellite finder meters. Lacuna satellite meter. Satcatcher Exel-TV meter. Satellite installation tools. Satellite Superstore UK. Low prices. Big discounts. Cheap cable.

Works well, but I do find the touch button a little tempramental.

You can use one of the analogue displacement type meters (much cheaper) if you don't mind spending a lot more time tweaking the dish.

Freesat uses the Astra 2D satellite (as it has a UK only footprint).
