Questions & Answers
You can experiment with it, as it's a universal signal meter.
The evidence does not support this. Only a few of the transponders will pick up DISH signals on the 20000 frequency range. 21500 is not in the turbo range. It can only be used with any DVB-enabled television Because DIRCTV is run through a closed protocol, it does not support S2 or S1 turners
There are DirecTV and dish networks available
Can it work with the following Indian satellites NSS 6, ST2, SIASAT 5, SES 7, GSAT15, MEASAT 3
Selected User Reviews For Satlink WS-6933 DVB-S2 FTA C&KU Band Digital Satellite Finder Meter
My goal was to find a sat finder which would identify the satellite at which the antenna was pointed.
A nice feature about the 6933 is that it locks nicely on the new DVB-T On Ku AMC, you can watch the S2 channels Page 21 at 125-127 This helps fine tune the signal to noise ratios the transponders from AMC-West show a high signal to noise ratio, so the ratios are really useful My test at an indicated 7 showed it locking reliably. I've found 21s to be weak on the West Coast. The signal to noise ratio is 5dB. It surprises me that I like the flashlight inbuilt in this device. A nice feature is the 'separate' LEDs on the front panel that are reserved for Quality. With it you get a prepaid US credit card A transponder list on the satellites I used had to be turned off since their transponder lists are based on satellite list data. As of AMC, it didn't have the 12180 TP - I'll give you an example 21. It works fine right out of the box, and the ability to edit the TP using the instrument is sufficient. I haven't connected it to a computer yet, but it should work fine. The pros are We are happy with our outcome - This is the A low-cost box with very sensitive capabilities - even sensing errors in weak signals (such as the Error Rate). The inbuilt flashlight is handy at night - easy to use. Lights up a wide area, can be seen from a considerable distance
Displays the signal level numerically in dBm, dBuV, etc. It clearly displays SNR, so rotating the dish is much easier
It sounds instantly upon locking, so you can get a good idea of where the dish is by listening *(minor) the sound is extremely loud on the roof, especially during the day. By turning it off, I was done with it. A slight learning curve to use the Sat/TP editor (minor) (minor) smaller battery than some competitors (800mAh vs. 1700mAh)
Would There is no doubt about it, it saves a lot of time. Besides the smart pointing units I currently own, have I ever owned any other intelligent pointing units? I have the 500 and.
I have tried a couple of those $10 satellite finder meters and never had any luck with them. So I decided to try this one and I am very pleased with the results. Through this meter, you will not just receive a signal from a satellite, which may or may not be the one you are trying to locate, you will know for sure you are looking at The meter does not come with a TV view built in, but I found that option to be a luxury rather than something I truly Even though it appears to be ready to use right out of the box and has all North American satellites preloaded on it, it doesn't work right out of the box. There will need to be some modifications to the transponder information that was embedded into the file. In order for it to work properly, the transponders need to be set to a frequency and symbol rate that is known to be active on the satellite. It is possible to find this information on the Internet, but I decided to tune to some channels on a functional system and retrieve what I needed from there before entering that information Getting the dish and LNBF aligned requires some time, but it is well worth it. Note that there is no brightness adjustment on the meter and it is very hard to read it in the sun, so the best days to use it are those with cloudy skies and when the sun has already set. Other than that, this is a well-built meter that should last for a number of The meter is excellent! I highly recommend it!.
When I travel with my Hopper 3 in the trailer, I have two Western Satellite dishes. As far as frequencies and such are concerned, I put in what I could find, but it still doesn't work. When I contacted Dish about getting the antenna question referred to the outdoor antenna company, I got a "technician unavailable" reply (Dish tech support via email appears to be useless, they aren't going to escalate the issue Despite searching for a manufacturers' website, I was unable to find it, and the documentation that came with the unit has no information on how to contact them, or how to access their web site. Videos have been available on the eastern satellites but my antenna only covers the western satellites, so I am not able to view them. ), but I'm faced with the task of wasting an expensive paper weight.
I would like to recover my money, but it isn't within the N may be able to do it in another country, but not in The United States. The deal is off! There is nothing. The paperwork didn't help, so I checked again. Videos were the only thing I could find on YouTube. There was no other way I could find help. Anyone who knows how to get it to work and who they talked to about getting it to work is welcome to share.
I find this device quite useful.
Thank you for the most convenient shopping package I received and I wish we could have a fruitful relationship in the future.
