[mythtvnz] Satellite signal strength meter

[David McNeill]

I've had a bit of a battle with my satellite stuff lately.

Started when I sold my technisat skystar II pci card. Bad move. From a 
stable system that _she_ relied on, I now have just a few channels on 
the old PVR-500 working. Bird/sun/rain/wind/poor quality took one 
element on my UHF aerial, so Prime is very fuzzy. Another job to do.

I bought an HVR-4400, but alas the linux support is non existent.  
Managed to find an HVR-3000 on trademe. They're fairly sought after, so 
wasn't cheap at over $120 very second hand.  Currently can't get that to 
go.  Want to get DVB-T going too, but need that new UHF aerial first.

Luckily, a trade in computer came back in with a skystar, so I thought 
easy, plug it back and we're working. Not.  So I re-aligned the 
satellite dish using dishfinder, replaced the (made of flyleads) cable 
to the roof with new stuff, but still no lock.

Does anyone have a satellite signal strength meter that I can borrow, so 
I can verify I'm getting good signal to my server?
