Birdog is pretty good. However Direct is using a newer meter forr their SWM system. Check ebay for deals.
What he forgot to tell you is thast Bird Dogs sell for a kilo-buck.. USED.
Actually if you are using DISH network there is a very good meter, IN fact it is every bit as good as the professional BirdDog which you already have.. yes, you already have it, though you need a display for it.
It is the antenna pointing page on your Receiver,, The software built into your receiver rivals a thousand dollars plus Birddog it's that good
You need a small portable color TV, battery operated, and some coax and an outside TV connection
Hook TV to outside TV connection, via coax. Set beside tripod. Feed it from the Sat receiver, set receiver to antenna pointing and then aim away.
Hints.. If your target bird is 119 (As it likely should be)_ and the TV shows "Wrong sat, 101" or some such.. Farther west
If it shows "Wrong sat 127" farther east.
That simple.
