GT MEDIA V8 Satellite Finder Meter TV DVB-S/S2/S2X Signal Receiver H.264 Sat Detector, HD 1080P FTA 3.5" LCD Built-in 3000mAh Battery for Adjusting Sat Dish

I had no trouble lining up the dish antenna with my old VIP style DVR. With the Hopper3, it took me approximately 15 minutes to line it up and was unable to lock in the satellites even after several attempts over several hours. I finally contacted the support staff for help. Because they couldn't make my trip, the meter was on Amazon for a good price. I ordered it two days ago and it arrived two days later. I now feel that the meter can do much more than I need it to do, but after a little experiment and assistance from an Android app to get me close to the satellites, I can lock on to all three LNBs in 2-hours. I leveled the mounting stand 3 minutes after adjusting the angle. That made a huge difference to the outcome. For people who need assistance lining up their dish network antenna manually, I highly recommend its use. My point is that it should be the same for DirecTV, although I have no experience with their product. We wish you the best of luck and can assure you that it will reduce a lot of stress while I think this will save you a lot of money compared to buying an entire new.

As far as I can see, in initial configuration you cannot specify for example a time zone or a country. For example, in America there are only Argentina and Brazil. The maps do not have the option to view the footprint of the satellite, and there is no option to see the footprint with the maps. TPs can't be found in C bands nor in Ku band because of the information on satellites' location and information on the satellites. If you want to add a satellite, you cannot refer to an alphanumeric guide on the keys because you do not have one. If you are in - you need to enter the antenna location When entering 79 degrees for example, you cannot enter a negative value for the location and the azimuth and polarity calculations will be different. There is no way to request help with this issue on the support page since it is just a download blog. Therefore, I think it will only be able to be used in America by users from Brazil and It would have been much easier to hunt signal with a decoder with a capability to view the strength and quality of the signal, and this would allow you not to rely on the screen at all if you are on a terrace or anywhere outside the places preloaded in the software.

It was purchased for use in the RV as a portable Dish Network satellite alignment tool. I have checked everywhere, including YouTube videos from other users, but I can find no documentation. There is no useful information on GT Media's website. The device picked up signals from a satellite that had already been aligned after a bit of bumbling through the menus. You're only providing unscrambled channels, but only in Spanish and only through Dish? The video is not locked so I could live with that if I could tweak it for the best picture. The "2-" tool is useless as an alignment tool, and I'd like to know more about it It is done in three minutes with "3 minute reviewer. ". Now we're back to the old way (beeper finder) which works as long as you can see the monitor (which isn't Now that the return time has passed, I will leave it as a mystery.

In return for the unit, I am returning it. The tech support was excellent it was easy to get in touch with them and they did their best to assist. I had a difficult time using the unit for one reason or another, despite the seller's 5 stars.

One thing to know about this product is that I think it's pretty brilliant. There is still much to refine and improve There were no quality signals (directv) even though I could get a 68% signal. I didn't understand the instructions. The old fashioned way was the only way for me to do it. Swim compatibility is not available on this unit either. This needs to be injected 20 to 25 times Proper alignment of the LNB is determined by the inclusion of CDC 22.

However, I think it is very well made and well made or the quality is very good.

The item was in good condition when it arrived. I had no trouble figuring out what to do because the instructions were simple and anyone who has used a sat receiver before would understand. If you want a starting point, you should know the satellites' orbital locations. I was satisfied with the meter as it had a long battery life. Ordered and was very pleased with the product.

It wasn't possible to find all the satellites I wanted from I'd like to point 1 to the dish. Please visit www. com. Enter your address in place of 2. SATs located in the south should be selected. The fourth step is to get a direct line of sight from your dish. You will need to know the names and longitudes of the 5 E and 5W satellites if it's a motor-driven dish. You will then be directed to the menu for installing satellites. If you want to use each SAT in the run, you should delete it, rename it, and specify its longitude positions. The signal and visual quality of the dish can be enhanced with this meter once the installation and alignment is completed.
