I personally wouldn`t recommend these as there not very good.

I have seen them for sale cheaper than that.

They do what they say on the tin, they will allow you to get the best alignment on a paticular satellite, the only problem with them is you don't actually know what satellite your actually lining up on to

If you've got a spare couple of grand knocking about you could go for a Rover DM16 meter like mine
