Better satellite signal finder meter?
Have the basic lo-cost Winegard signal finder. When we're in a poor reception location, it's such a PITA to use plus I have no idea what satellite I'm actually picking up. Is there a better choice...

Maybe I didn't make it clear enough. Looking for a signal meter that goes inline with the coax like the Winegard meter does.
Our receiver does work fine for signal strength and sat. no., but I've got to keep running back and forth to see what sat I've hit plus turning the volume up load enough to hear it 25-50' away and not bothering a neighbor in the next site doesn't work too well (I wear hearing aids too which doesn't help).
I often go down to our regular CG in the morning ahead of DW who comes down after work and so do all the setup myself.
Use a wireless baby monitor. Aim the camera at your TV and the built in meter and take the remote outside with you. Much cheaper than a dedicated meter and works like a champ. I have been doing this for years.
