hi looking to get a satellite finder as i cant get signal on some sats and haven't used the satellite for about 7 years so need something to help me get them aligned correctly again. so can anyone recommend a good sat finder budget about £60 need one that is easy to use thanks
 
also forget to mention mine is a motorized dish. whats the nit section. also is an active transponder a frequency and symbol rate etc for working channel/s i am new to using satellite it was set up by my uncle but he lives in london and hardly ever see him. thanks
 
Really if your mount is plumb then by putting you dish to 0.8w and peaking the signal on that one satellite then all the rest should fall into line. When I set a motorised up I use a transponder of aljazeer English and use the nit function to show me the signal strength on that channel by peaking the dish left right of up and down to get the best signal strength then the rest of the sats should be in line and peaked. There are many things that meter can do but I just use it for the bare minimum but it works good for chasing those difficult sats and peaking the signal.
 
try the one below mate, I have it or a similar one but I paid double that. It has a lots of sats already in but what I do is just take an active transponder off lynsat and input it in then turn the dish in the nit section and it picks up the signal and I just peak the dish.

@ FOZZER----Why ask the same question as you have previously asked and received assistance with already.
Have I and others just wasted our time helping you?
People come to this site for help, they get it and are grateful but you seem to be just playing a game. I spent time in "conversations" with you and now find the same question again.
What a total waste of time.
