What signal meter will work?

I switched from Direct to Dish. Now I have the new hopper with 2 Joeys. I have a spare dish like the one on the house. I set it up one time while camping and it took some time to get it working. I have read that the built in signal meter is very slow to acknowledge a signal. What meter will work to show me when I am locked 61.5 and 72.7?
  • When I screwed with Dish I think I remember that the stand along receiver will tell you what Sat. its on. I wasn't happy at all with dish in the MH.
  • The SAT LOOK LITE from Solid Signal will not work. Even though their ad leads you to believe it will. And they are a terrible company to deal with for a return. A $12 buzz meter will do the same for the Dish EA sats.
