old guy - You're talking about DirecTV. The OP is talking about Dish. DirecTV uses a different band (Ka) for HD satellites and Ku band for SD on 101.

The meter that the installer talked about is probably for aiming an HD antenna. They're not all expensive. I use the basic $10 meter to aim my tripod mounted antenna when I can't use my rooftop antenna. My RV is in my garage so I've setup an antenna on a tripod to feed the receivers. When we travel, I bring the tripod for those times when trees are a problem.
