Hello folks,
I'm a newbie and hence have some very basic questions, the answer to which I couldn't find anywhere. It is regarding the use of satellite finder meter. The model that I have is Solid SF-24 analog meter. Here are my doubts:
1. Is the meter independent of the STB settings?
[Suppose I've just added a Satellite, 93.5 E for example, on my STB. There will be no transponders yet. Now, can I simply go to my terrace and start tuning my dish with the meter? Or, should I add more details. Also, can I tune to another satellite when my set-top box is showing some random screen?]
2. Can the meter be used through the DiSeqc switch?
[Or, should I directly connect the meter between the LNB and STB?]
3. How far away from the dish should the meter be?
4. The meter that I have, repeteadly blinks 22kHz LED after every 2-3 seconds, what does that mean?
For your information, I have a 4 feet Solid Prime Focus Dish, and a Dual Polarity Single output Solid LNB. I'm trying to tune into to Thaicom 5, and want to receive Nepal TV (FTA). If anyone is receiving this channel, please share the transponder details and dish size.
Thanks in advance!
