The normal starting point for the needle on the meter is the center. Before you begin to point the antenna you would adjust the DB to get the needle centered. As you move toward the satellite the needle will peg over to max. Adjust the DB until the needle is again centered and adjust a bit more. Repeat as many times as necessary. Once you get to a point where no matter how you move the antenna the reading drops, you are pointed exactly right. Since the meter does not know what satellite you are trying to locate, if you don't now have a signal on the satellite box, you are pointed at the wrong satellite.
All of this assumes that you have the receiver setup correctly. If you are moving from a home antenna setup to a portable setup the 2 setups are nearly always incompatible so doing the proper receiver setup before going to the signal meter is required.
