Satellite Fider as OTA Signal Strength Meter

Question

I have a "satellite finder" meter, with coax TV cable terminals on it, that apparently is used to aim a portable satellite dish.
We don't have satellite, but would this meter be able to find the best aiming point for a Winegard Off The Air (DTV) antenna?
