I set up a Slimline HD dish a dozen times per year. 5-10 minutes.
No meter just the one the sat box has.
You need to make sure your dish is perfectly level. Make sure the tilt is set to your zip. It's in the sat box too.
What REALLY helps is the Dishpointer app for your smart phone. Point your phone at the southern sky and it superimposes the sats on your screen.
Invaluable for finding holes in trees.
Peak sat 101 and the others will fall into place.
