The SATHUNTER is an instrument designed for the installation of Direct To Home (DVB-S/S2) satellite reception systems. It is fully automatic and very easy to use. Just turn the dish and the instrument will show up the identification of the selected satellite when it is detected. The instrument is actually reading the information transmitted by the satellite and displays its orbital position and the service list..
It detects signal from any analogue or digital satellite thanks to the built-in wide band detector. Once a satellite signal has been found it is possible to confirm with no possibility of error if the received satellite corresponds to the one desired.
Equipment settings can be modified at will using a PC computer and the supplied software through USB.
