CENPEK V8 Finder2 Satellite Finder Digital Finder Meter Satellite Detection DVB-S2X Signal Receiver Decoder H.264 HD 3.5 Inch LCD For Setting Satellite Dish

Very easy to operate and soon found Astra 28.2 and there is also an option to view channels broadcast on this satellite so overall great piece of kit. After trying it whilst caravanning I also found if the unit has been scanned for channels previously, when you lock onto the signal you can hear a tv program come straight on when means you don’t have to have direct view of the meter and then fine adjust the dish using the signal strength meter. Really easy to setup.

Within 5 minutes of opening the packaging I found the satellite I needed on the list displayed (Astra 2) I knew approximately the direction to point the dish and had my satellite dish aligned within seconds showing signal strength and quality, I did a a full channel scan and within a couple of minutes it had found the channels which could then see on the screen with all sorts of info that I don't understand otherwise it's so easy to use.There are several other settings/functions that I don't currenty understand or plan to use but they may be of use.Main point is it works, it's easy to use and it's quick and good value, much better than a traditional signal meter.I noted on some reviews it mentioned scratched screen, the one I got had a protective cover on the screen that had scratches/marks - you peel off the protective cover and the screen is perfect.

If your looking for a satellite meter for the price these are a bargain my horizon meter is not supported so became useless I needed a replacement fast this meter finds the satellite I’m looking for and dose what it says on the tin easy to use.

Very difficult to use I had a First Strike 2 that lost Astra 28e and was told that these where no longer manufactured and software was out of date so I bought V8 Finder2 which is not in the same class as the first strike very difficult to set up any Uk dish eg Astra 28e and the manual is not fit to be printedWould advise a future purchaser to give this a miss and spend a little more a buy a good detector

So eventually with a lot of searches I have found the settings for anyone in the UK who has freesat, & wishes to tune it in.Satellite Astra 2E,2F,2GTransponder 10847 VFirst click installation & select above satellite.Once selected press the satellite button, here you will see Transponder. Select the one above.Then scan,Your sorted

This is a very simple to use Satellite Finder. It can be set up to show the programs on the channels selected. It was very easy to find the right satellite. The one drawback is that the machine is not waterproof so should not be used in the rain.

Excellent product

Wow this has made setting up the caravan satellite dish super easy, took two mins to tune in once set up
