Like many, I?m switching to Dish and looking for help deciding on an antenna. With the other guys, I used a portable manual dish and could find the bird in a matter of minutes, thanks to the fact that my Directv receiver emitted an audible signal-strength beep, eliminating the need for shouting back and forth or using an inline signal meter.
I?d like to get a big Dish antenna with 3 LNBs, but am worried about aiming it. My home Hopper does not emit an audible signal-strength beep, so I wonder if the mobile Wally does. If not, can anyone recommend an easy-to-read inline signal meter that actually works? And is there any cheating when it comes to setting skew? Never had to worry about that with my archaic setup.
Appreciate any and all advice.
