display it on the screen com-
plete with all its parameters
(frequency, satellite, polari-
sation, PIDs, etc.). Although
we know that no meter can
ever permanently replace a
standard receiver (not least if
it does not come with an A/V
output), we still can confirm
that the CB200 HD offers all
basic functions and features
for watching TV on its screen.
This includes an easy-to-nav-
igate channel list that can be
restricted to individual satel-
lites and/or reception types
and that can be edited totally
hassle-free. Even 720p and
1080i channels will be shown
flawlessly on the CB200 HD’s
small display. PAL, SECAM,
NTSC… you name it – the me-
ter will happily deal with any
of those colour systems, and
of course the meter can cre-
ate a constellation diagram
for each frequency for an op-
tical signal check. We tried it
out several times during our
test and it invariably worked
to our utmost satisfaction.
As a worthwhile alternative
for fine-tuning an antenna
alignment you may want to
use the so-called Explorer
function which shows a sin-
gle transponder complete
with all signal quality, signal
strength, BER and C/N pa-
rameters as well as search
mode used, frequency, sym-
bol rate, polarisation and
satellite. When working in
challenging
environments
such as up on a roof, both the
enlarged signal bar presenta-
tion (which can be activated
at any time, if required) and
the acoustic feedback can be
extremely useful helpers in
your day-to-day job routine.
Don’t we all face the same
issue time and again? After a
lot of moving back and forth
