I have always found the Receiver's antenna set up page to be better than any meter.. Just use a portable TV (color) in the 5-10 inch range next to the tripod.
That would not be fun to do when I have 150'-200' of coax stretched out to reach a clear sat view. Even setting it up with just 50' run would be a PITA compared to just hooking up a meter. It rarely takes me more than 15 minutes to do a complete setup and aiming with my current meter, however the LCD display is failing, so it's time to look for a replacement, preferably in the same sub-$130 price range the OP is looking for.
