Dish Satellite Signal Meter
Does anyone make a smart satellite meter that shows the Satellite number and signal strength? Preferable that it would show both 110 and 119 at the same time.

Using the satellite receiver to dial in the dish works well when the dish is located close enough to the RV. I've set my dish up as much as 150' away though,
That is why I suggest using a battery operated portable color TV (hook it to the outside TV jack) to watch the meters from the tripod site.
This is very simply the best meter made.. I mean the software invoked by MENU-6-1-1 is every bit as good as the kilobuck used Bird Dog, it gives you the signal strength and the ID (Address actually) of the bird you have sited, It picks the LNB so you know when you hit the right angle
Hint to those who do not under stand dish, the Satellite numbers we talk about are 1/3 of it's address... The other 2/3s are the same for all birds so that's all we need.
the 3 parts: Latitude = ZERO
Longitude = Number of satellite
Altitude =about= 1/8 light second
So if you want 110 and you see, say 97, Look farther to the west.
