How to Use a Satellite Finder to Receive Digital TV Signals

Satellite Finder is a handheld device designed to help technicians locate television satellites in order to position satellite dishes. It’s a handy device if you work with satellites often, but most people don’t have any real use for that functionality. They are simple to operate and are designed to be used while you're at the satellite dish so you don't have to check your signal strength at your television set. There are both analog and digital models available, both with and without internal power supplies. The digital satellite finder is microprocessor controlled, making it very reliable and accurate. Signal strength is presented graphically on the LCD display in form of thermometer-scale and in numbers (0-99). It can also present pitch tones (the higher tone the better signal) on a buzzer. The digital sat-finder is very sensitive and can detect the weakest of signals, strong incoming signals (powerful satellite, big dishes) can easily be attenuated for better readout. Fe...
