CSL - Sat-finder satellite finder with level display - pointer display measuring device with signal sound - HD-capable - for optimal positioning of satellite antennas digital satellite systems

Very easy to use and does exactly what we needed. Wind causes our dish to go out of alignment every now and then, and we used to pay to get it re-aligned (£40 a time). With this, I can re-align in minutes, very easy. Great little box and will save me a bundle in the long run, great investment. If you are not in to reading instruction manuals, here's the cut down version: 1) Unscrew your sky cable from the LNB (the bit it goes into in front of the satellite dish) 2) Screw that cable into this box where it says REC (For receiver - the other end of that cable has your sky box/receiver on it) 3) Screw the supplied cable to the LNB end of the box, and then into the space you just took the other cable out of on your dish 4) Turn the wee twisty thingy until you hear the sound, then turn it back so the sound is barely audible (and needle is down at 1ish) 5) Move the dish about until the needle hits 10, and the noise is perfectly audible 6) Fix dish in that position, and unscrew the box and reconnect the cable as it was before you started into the LNB again 7) all done.

1) Build quality. It is a very light weight plasticky little box, with a needle that flops aboout at the slightest touch. First impressions are not good ones. 2) You have to read the instructions, particularly Section 4. I have seen other reviews saying that the unit detected nothing, well... they may well have had a dead unit, but it is also just as likely that they did not fully follow the steps. 3) It is finicky to use, but that it more to do with the fact that you are up a ladder, trying to uncrew weathered nuts on rusted screwthreads. 4) Once I had it connected up and the wife had powered up the equipment, two lights came on the unit, as well as a light illuminating the dial. 5) Either my signal is weak, or the unit is not as sensitive as the manufacturer implies. Rather than start with the "sensitivity control dial" on minimum, mine had to be dialled up to near max strength to get a decent signal. 6) Once the signal is being received there is an audible noise/alarm. I then dialled the sensitivity back to the middle of the scale and by moving the satelite dish around you try to make the sensitivity dial go higher. In my case I never go the signal strength to over the value of "7" once I had found the correct position of the sensitivity control dial. 7) The actual corridor of the strong signal is extremely precise, flexing the satellite dish will stop the audible sound and thus the signal is lost. It is sensitive enough to fine tune your dish postion. Therefore, if you are looking to reset the position of your satellite dish after it has been knocked then this is a great little device. You get the general satellite postion using GPS on your phone and an app and this can dial it in. I have had not signal breakups since using it. It feels and is cheap. It is a little finicky to set up and use, but if you follow the instruction it is a cheap way to get the job done.

I don't usually write reviews, but in this case I decided I must! Had to realign my dish after moving it away from an extended shed roof. I got it close by a smart phone app, but wanted it perfect without spending too much so took a punt on this item. I noticed predominantly good reviews, but a number of questionable ones that I don't really understand or agree with on such a simple item unless its faulty from new or used incorrectly. From my perspective as a retired electrical engineer, this item if used using correct methods is a superb, cheap and simple one man dish alignment tool. The variable tone it delivers allows a peak position to be found very easily through slight movements. As a number of people have mentioned always power down completely the reciever/sky box/set top box before making and braking any LNB connections. Not doing so is not just a risk to this cheap box but the more expensive reciever too. Make sure the gain knob on this box is turned to minimum before powering up. Set the gain to half scale ish on the little box after powering up and set the dish left/right to peak and tighten. Set half scale on the little box again and set the up/down then tighten. Then finally repeat for the LNB fine tune rotation setting if required. Power down again to disconnect the little box and reconnect LNB. Perfect.

Excellent product,easy to use( just follow the simple instructions in the manual) sorted the satellite signal perfectly in the matter of minutes.

This device is inexpensive and it worked, but attenuator seems to be a little flaky and it required some very careful adjustment. It helps if you also use a SatFinder app on your phone so you have a good idea where you are meant to be pointing the dish, and that you hook your satellite TV box up to a TV so you know when its getting a good signal. Note that the LNB is pointing at the dish at an angle, so the dish itself doesn't need to point "up" to the sky but is approximately vertical.

I recently tried out this satellite finder and was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to use. The setup was straightforward, and it quickly helped me lock onto a signal without much hassle. It definitely took the guesswork out of aligning the dish and saved me a lot of time compared to doing it by trial and error. The only thing I noticed is that while it works very well for getting the dish pointed in the right direction, it could be a little more sensitive for fine tuning the signal. A bit more precision would make it perfect, especially for maximizing weaker channels. Best I can get to is 77% and that's with also using the satellite finder website with azimuth and degree of the dish being as suggested. Also remember to check the LNB skew as this can also improve the signal. Overall though, it’s a reliable, user-friendly tool that gets the job done and makes the process a lot smoother that trying without.
