Equipped with a black and white LCD, the sat finder meter displays satellite longitude/latitude, power (PWR), and DiSEqC data, while also measuring signal strength, quality, bit error rate, and power. Software updates are available via a Micro USB port, and sat meter’s accessory plugs are available in EU, US, AU, and UK versions. Real-time satellite signal images and signal quality feedback allow users to precisely adjust the antenna's azimuth and elevation.
Black and white HD LCD screen, supports nighttime operation
- The satellite meter is equipped with a black and white LCD screen, typically used to display key parameters such as signal strength, frequency, and polarization angle, making it suitable for basic debugging needs.
- The backlit buttons support nighttime operation.
- The satellite sat finder features high-brightness LED lighting and supports DVB-S/DVB-S2.
- The digital satellite finder displays satellite longitude/latitude, bit error rate (BER), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), power (PWR), and DiSEqC data. Tests include signal strength, quality, BER, and power.
Multiple plug options, low power consumption
- The tv satellite finder software is updated via a Micro USB port, and satellite model numbers are displayed graphically and numerically.
- The satellite sat finder has an output power of 13/18V, 350mA, and is available with optional connector plugs in EU (default), US, AU, and UK specifications.
- It offers ultra-long standby time and low power consumption. The hd satellite finder has a lightweight design and a comfortable feel. The high-definition digital satellite finder significantly improves the efficiency of satellite TV installation and maintenance, and is particularly suitable for signal debugging in remote areas or complex environments.

Q1: What is a satellite finder?
A1: A satellite finder is a portable device designed specifically for debugging satellite signal reception systems. It's primarily used to accurately locate satellites, optimize antenna parameters (such as azimuth, elevation, and polarization), and monitor signal quality in real time.
Q2: How does a digital satellite finder work?
A2: The finder connects to the satellite antenna's LNB to receive the satellite's RF signal (L-band, 950-2150 MHz). After demodulation, it displays parameters such as signal strength, modulation method (such as 16APSK for DVB-S2), and symbol rate. Users adjust the antenna's azimuth, elevation, and polarization based on real-time data to achieve optimal signal quality.
Q3: What's the difference between a satellite finder meter and a regular receiver?
A3: Designed specifically for debugging, a satellite signal finder emphasizes real-time parameter feedback (such as constellation diagrams and spectrum scans) over program decoding.
Portability and Professionalism: Its compact size and high functional integration (such as a built-in compass) make it suitable for field operations.
Tips: What are satellite finders used for?
The satellite signal meter helps users quickly locate satellite signals and adjust the angle of satellite antennas for home or commercial satellite TV (DVB-S/DVB-S2) installations. The satellite sat finder measures signal strength and quality to ensure stable reception, and can be used to maintain and optimize existing satellite reception systems.
