Checking the satellite signal strength

The Signal Meter allows you to check the strength of the signal from the satellite to your satellite dish. This is useful while setting up your satellite dish, and while troubleshooting any reception problems you may encounter. Satellite signal strength can be affected by how accurately you have pointed the satellite dish, and by any obstructions between the satellite and the satellite dish (tree limbs, for example).
