I live in the United States. Does this meter have the western satellites in its database?

This has western sattelites in it and you can add more if you want, but it does not carry beacons for you to identify it. If you're looking for the unit to indicate whether you're on directtv or dish network sattelite, the only way you'd be able to have that would be for you to program it yourself. The unit is designed only to give positive signals for sattelites in the arc. If you don't know how to use a signal meter for sattelites, this is not the meter for you.

Many satellites are listed in its database,also you can add a new satellites just by adding its location/degree.for example 113.0W etc.

I live in Paraguay (South America), here the machine works very good, we use the AMAZONAS 61ºwest, and STARONE70ºwest.....i think you can use that satfinder in usa....

I do not believe so, I gentleman from GA requested the same info, when I checked my unit I remember noticing no maps or game units for states east of the Mississippi. I will pull out my hunting gear and double check though.

Not this one. I have an older Sky Scan that does, unfortunately this one doesn't.

No. The clock is auto sync with the satellites. The time should be correct every time you turn it on once the detector syncs up.

I don't believe so. I think it has to say SOLAR in the name or description to use longitude and lattitude.

I believe it will. I used it all summer in Alaska with no problems. Good or bad, there are satellites everywhere.

To be honest, I don't know. Here is what it does. It looks around for the 101 satellite. When it gets that locked in good, it twisted the dish for 110, 103 & 99. The LNBs on the tree receive the various satellites. It does this wonderfully in the USA. Now if the European people are using the frequencies that DirecTV uses and their satellites have the same juxtaposition, you have a winner. You need to research what frequencies are on the various DirecTV satellites and on the European satellites. If the LNBs use the same frequencies and off -axis satellites match up, the dish will lock in IF all that works, the receiver will, of course, work. Please note, the "receiver" will be from your service provider, not Winegard. The Winegard mechanism does a wonderful job of finding the satellites - that's all. Looking at all the Ifs, the probability is low.

Correct, but remember, the "place" is entered as a latitude and longitude in decimal format. Not a big deal if you observe from only one or two places, but a great help if you get around. No need to look up the latitude and longitude or keep a list of them. Just start an alignment, wait a bit for the device to read the satellites signal, then align as usual. I like mine and recommend it.

Yes it works in USA. It is for FTA Satellite only. If your new to FTA there are a few online groups that can help you out. I would consider FTA as a hobby... one that I enjoy. All the best.

Well,that would be a question for Garmin. I believe it would though, because satellites are everywhere and Garmin sells maps for that area.

They should come up automatically when the device searches for satellite. My works all over Europe except certain Balkan states like Bosnia that are not available.

I have not received mine yet, there is a Youtube vedio in the setup. You will have to program the Freq, and polarization with the correct modulation, and encoding for the satellite you are trying to get the peak signal on. If you can send me your email. kennethnelson33@msn.com. Its an European satellite finder that will work in the states. You need to know, if you are point at DVB-S or DVB-S2. http://www.lyngsat.com/ and http://www.dishpointer.com/.

As far as I know it has maps of North America, but I didn't check for which countries when I updated the maps

No the I bought had US and Canada but Don't buy it I had 2 of them go bad. The first one was DOA the second died in a week I have a Garmin now

Not in the US. The European version has GPS, but the US version does not Joseph May Techtrackr.com

I am not sure. If your model has a memory card reader on its side, it will work.Check the different maps to check if it works.Might have to reset the device when in India for it to catch the Indian satellite..I have used it and it works in India.- Abilash

I am not certain. You will probably need to contact Western Digital for an answer.
