Will the SLx Satellite Finder help?

[BeeKay]

Hi All,

Like a lot of members I have the need to realign my motorised dish as the strong winds over the weekend has moved it. It's not very far out of alignment as I can get a broken up picture on all satellites, but unwatchable. I have realigned my dish before by using the signal (sat finder) in my Dreambox, but it takes so long to do.

As the dish only needs a tweaking, I want to realign the dish myself rather than go to the expence of getting a dish installer to realign it. I have seen a SLx Satellite Finder for £12.50 and wondered if it is suitable for my purpose. If it is not, can anyone recommend a low priced sat finder that would be suitable.

Any feedback on this would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

BeeKay

the analogue cheap sat finders would be best don't use them myself if you can get a sensative one would do the job but any will help

i used this in my first ever install!

it works - BUT make sure to SET the sensitivity to minimal or it thinks a passing seagull is a satellite.
