Subject: Radio Shack and Galaxy 10R Author: Anonymous [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Sun, February 08 2004, 11:48:43 PST In reply to: 's message, "Galaxy 10R" on Sun, February 08 2004, 0:30:33 PST Radio Shack has a device under $30.00 which allows you to find Galaxy 10R. It's easier for you to go to Radio Shack, buy the device, and follow the instructions. You need an unobstructed clear view to the heavens Westbound. Let us know how it works out.

[> [> Subject: In Line Tuning Meter - $29.00 Author: Anonymous [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Sun, February 08 2004, 12:04:39 PST Most DirecTV and DISH installers use signal meters built into the receivers. This can be done to a limited extent with an MPEG-2 receiver, but you really have to know what you are doing. Even with the right numbers, you have got to be within a fraction of a degree and patient enough to slowly pan back and forth until you find the signal. The signal meters do not immediately respond, so it must be done slowly, and have the talent to freeze immediately when you latch onto the edge of a signal. Get an in-line tuning meter which does not tell you what satellite you are on, but if you have the proper elevation, you will get within 2 or 3 satellites and go from there. It will beep and the needle moves when you happen onto something. Such a meter is available for a paltry $29.00. You also want to get an angle finder ($15.00), which is placed across the face of a dish to second-guess the alignment gauge on an antenna. Have fun. The sky is the limit!
