High winds knock it out of alignment. You will need a short (3-4 feet) piece of coaxial cable also. Install it between the dish and your existing cable. Meter is very sensitive. You will have to decrease the gain quickly or the meter will burn out. Review: Useless piece of junk - Piece Of Junk. Lights up and makes noise, but doesn’t do anything else.

It worked perfectly. But you need to have the proper coordinates from the provider (in my case Dish). The finder just fine tunes the final position. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Inexpensive and works great. *by S***R on January 4, 2024* Use this meter to align my DirecTv high-definition dish.

Lights up and makes noise, but doesn’t do anything else. It can’t find any satellites. Phenomenal waste of money. Shame on this seller! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works good for finding a satellite signal. *by B***. on September 7, 2021* Works great. I have used far more expensive military and commercial grade signal meters. This is accurate and effective for a buyer on a budget. I was ET NUCLEAR SUB CORPS and also I'm a CNE (Certified Network Engineer) I can say as a professional this product is worth the money. ## Frequently Bought Together - AGPtek Digital Satellite Signal Finder Meter for Dish Network Directv FTA with Compass and Audio Tone - Blue - G-PLUG 3FT RG6 Coaxial Cable Connectors Set- High-Speed Internet, Broadband and Digital TV Aerial, Satellite Sky Cable Extension - Weather-Sealed Double Rubber O-Ring and Compression Connectors White - Tiiyee Satellite Finder, Digital Signal Finder Sat Receiver Professional Locators Portable Aerial Terrestrial Detector Black Background for Remote Reception Systems Antennas13 to18V --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/31634112-agptek-digital-satellite-finder-for-dish-directtv-fta-signal-meter](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/31634112-agptek-digital-satellite-finder-for-dish-directtv-fta-signal-meter) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-09*
