Most receivers from real sat cos (not dish) have signal strength
meters that come up on the TV the receiver is hooked to. Most

Actually Dish has this capability too. Of course they didn't send Superman
over so he couldn't look thru the roof of the house and watch the signal
strength change as he pointed it. And he also couldn't use his super
hearing to hear the tone change. I guess that's why he brought his Sat
Buddy.

installation techs have meters they hook directly to the dish with, OR

That's the Sat Buddy, but no meter, just a speaker.

they have small TV monitors to see the built in sig strength meters in

What are you going on about there? To point the dish, they don't even need
a receiver hooked up. They install from the top down. The first thing they
do is mount the dish and then work towards the sets.

the receivers. Most dishes ARE very weather resilient as sat power
levels are higher than in the 8 foot dish days, and all it really
needs is to be pointed right to begin with to have the best resistance
to slight wind perturbations.

Of what relevance is this to anything being discussed?
