  • Newbie question I know. My dish seems to have moved and I need a meter to re-position my dish, anyone no of a good one without spending a packet! Cheerz in advance. (sorry if this is in the wrong place).

  • If you are using enigma and have a tablet or phone or even laptop, you can try using an app for a signal meter. But would need to know more about you setup to suggest which ones to try...


    BTW - if the dish is really off, I use a very basic meter I picked up locally for less than 10£ to get it close, then an app on my phone or tablet to fine tune.

  • You can do it without a meter too!!!
    Obviously as long as the dish is accessible...
    You could use an app on your smartphone, for example, communicating with the box to check BER + SNR ..
    All the info is already on the site if you use the searchbar top right...
    Which box + image version are you using?

  • Thanks, didn`t think of the iphone for an app, but I`m a tadd lazy and thought a plug in meter from flea-bay would sort it. Simples plug in the lead, I don`t have time to learn new shizzle, thought plug and play from flea-bay would be the simplest way!. Think I`m doing well as an old person playing Advanced Warfare on me Xbox One, can`t be climbing ladders though!
    BER and SNR... ???

    Shitty Amiko mini hd box, a link to an app would be nice in an iso mode!

    Related to this (in a newbie old person post) if I have a box and dish (and a meter) that works in the Uk. Could I move the box to a correctly pointed dish (with same meter)in say the Canaries?

  • I remember some app called big2small, but not sure if it has a signal meter...


    Box and meter can go anywhere in the world. (may need power adapter though...) As long as the LNB on the dish is standard and the dish is big enough for a good signal...
