Hi guys: I am going to buy the V8 finder pro meter. Is there anyone among you who used it? What impression do you have? Does it look reliable? Thank you in advance

Hello my friend: thank you for your answer. But would you buy it?
I'm undecided between the xxxxxx and the GT media V8 Finder Pro.

Ha, coming to the GTMedia home page to ask? If you read the link mentioned you will see I own a V8 Finder Pro and test results were posted there. There is also some discussion about it. Can not tell about the others . You will not find that answer here, sorry

I find the Finder Pro good.

The battery lasts a long time, 4 hours+, the screen is clear.
The Finder Pro battery is a lot better than the V8 Finder 2.
The Finder Pro is a better buy than the Finder 2 because of the battery and the wider, clearer screen.

Some features like the db levels have been reported as not calibrated.

It is a great camping TV and can play back movies from USB or Youtube from the net if you buy a wifi dongle.
Note only some wifi chip sets work with GT Media units.

I still use a tone type finder in the LNB cable to first locate the satellite and then use the Finder Pro to fine tune the dish.
You can use a known good TP and move the dish slowly to find a satellite.
It does BISS and powerVu so you can fine tune those TP's / channels as well.
