Satellite Finder Meters
Interested in any experience with relatively cheap satellite finder meters to be used on Dish Network. Not talking about the $10.00 stuff but units like SATlink WS-6908 on Amazon in the $120.00 rang...

OP asked about the Tailgator. I must admit, since getting my Tailgator, I've started reading through these Sat aiming threads just so I can laugh at other people and their misfortunes.
After a year of using the Tailgator, I can find only two objections to the current design:
1. Before watching TV, you have to remember to put it outside.
2. Before driving off, you have to remember to put it away.
I understand that an open dish, properly aimed, will get better reception and be more robust against rainstorms, but the little Tailgator does a good job, and I just have to remember steps #1 and #2.
The Tailgator is nice, although the Carryout may be a bit better for rain fade, as it has a bit larger dish. And the Carryout would work in my current location, where only the Dish eastern arc birds are "seeable". My 1000.4 dish works fine with either arc though, and usually only takes a few minutes to set up. And my whole satellite system cost less than the Tailgator alone.
