Meter wise it *should* work fine with any system, and if you control via the dishnet receiver, the meter will give a reading. However I'm not familiar with the switching used in those two systems, and Dishnet uses some strange techniques to select different satellites, and sometimes band-shifts them to higher freqs, so if you use the meter to power and control the lnbfs, I'm not sure how to get it to swithc sats. The band shifting shouldn't be a problem, since I think it has a pretty wide bandwidth, but I'm not positive what you have to do to switch LNBs to get the other satellites. I used to have a document explaining how some dishnet systems work, but that was before they even did band shifting, so I don't know how it works now. Hopefully someone knows. The Channel Master does have 22khz capability though, and usually the satellite switching uses some combination of 22khz and voltage.
