Why SF95 signal meter is misleading?

Hi All,
I bought a SF95 signal meter from Sadoun a few weeks ago. It never worked correctly for me. I am using 79W as a reference because my local longitude is 77W degree. Without using it, I was able to point my dish to 79W roughly. Then, I attached this meter to fine tune my dish. The meter led me to a little west. After I reached the top signal strength, I did auto scans on this satellite. It found no channel at all. What happened? If the satellite I pointed to, using the meter, was another satellite west to 79W, I suppose there must be a weak signal area between these two satellites. But the meter didn't show this.

Could it be simply because this cheap meter just does not work as ADed by Sadoun?

Could you please advise? Thanks.
