[installer]

I have the horizon HDSTM does sat and terrestrial analogue and digital sd & hd
Quite expensive but it's paid for itself..

Funnily enough I looked at that meter, but ended up with two separate ones- the HD-S2 and the HD-TM. The TM very rarely gets used as we have a local repeater which can be picked up with a wet shoelace. The HD-S2 on the other hand take a hammering. It replaced my ageing (but still perfect) HDSM 2.5 purely because I needed the S2 tuner for 27.5°W.
Great battery on the S2, far better than the old NiMH efforts in the SM and the TM.

Question trevertron if I may, is there a difference in 27 west and 30 west, (stupid question lol) the guy I did the alignment for yesterday has a viewing card for " NOS " package and I don't know which satellite it's on, Disney channel was clearing but all other channels were showing a message in Portuguese with a telephone symbol to subscribe, or showing no sat signal, the chap I did it for has no practically no English and I don't speak porto but he said the guy he bought it from reckons they should be working, any suggestions.

The NOS package is received via 30W. If you look here Hispasat 1D / Hispasat 1E (30°W) - All transmissions - frequencies - KingOfSat you will see the frequencies that it transmits on.
Hope this helps.

@dantis speaks wisely. They're 2.5° apart, but a slightly warped dish may pick them both up with 1 LNB.
