If you have a older meter that does DVB-S but not DVB-S2 you can usually still align a satellite dish.
You will need our free worldwide Satellite / Transponder list
to find a DVB-S transponder on the satellite you want to align to.
Aligning to a DVB-S signal will give you a good alignment to the
satellite and to DVB-S2 transponders.
Current (September 1st, 2020) count.
DVB-S2 transponders: | 4635 |
DVB-S transponders: | 2354 |
Keep
in mind that transponders are changing over to DVB-S2 so eventually it
will be hard to find DVB-S signals on some satellites. Start saving for a
meter upgrade.
In my opinion Sathero Meters are the best for quality, accuracy, durability and price.
