Satellite Finder: Align Dish

Satellite Finder helps you align a satellite TV dish yourself: it tells you exactly where to point it from where you stand, and gives you several ways to get there, not just a compass. Choose your satellite, and the app shows the three numbers every installer needs: azimuth (which way to turn the dish), elevation (how far to tilt it up) and LNB skew (how far to rotate the LNB). Your position comes from GPS, or you can type it in. FIND YOUR SATELLITE • Search by satellite name, orbital position or TV provider • Satellites you can receive from your spot are listed first, highest in the sky on top; ones too low or below your horizon are marked • Covers the main DTH and free-to-air TV positions for India, Indonesia, Brazil, Turkey, the Middle East, Europe, Africa, Russia and North America • Not in the list? Enter any orbital position, east or west FOUR WAYS TO AIM • Map: a line on the satellite map shows where the dish must face. Pick a building or tree on that line and aim at it: no compass needed • Sun shadow: the app tells you the moment the Sun lines up with your satellite. A stick's shadow then marks the exact direction • Live compass: hold the phone flat and turn until it says On target. Magnetic declination is corrected with the World Magnetic Model. It beeps faster as you get closer and buzzes on target, so you can listen while you turn the dish • Elevation meter: hold the phone against the dish and the app tells you to tilt up or down, with pictures of where to put the phone on offset and flat dishes A COMPASS YOU CAN TRUST Phone compasses go wrong near metal, magnets and cables, and most apps never tell you. Satellite Finder checks the magnetic field against the model for your location and asks you to calibrate (figure 8) when the reading cannot be trusted, instead of pointing you the wrong way. STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE From a vertical pole to the final fine-tuning with your receiver's signal quality screen, plus a checklist for when there is no signal.

GOOD TO KNOW • No ads, no account, no sign-up. • The angles, the compass, the Sun method and the elevation meter work without internet. The map needs a connection. • A phone cannot measure the satellite signal itself. The app gets your dish within a few degrees; the last step is done with the signal quality screen of your receiver or a signal meter. • Satellite list: Wikipedia contributors, CC BY-SA 4.0.

New in 1.1: Arabic, French and Spanish. The compass and elevation meter beep faster as you get closer and buzz on target. Pictures show where to put the phone on offset and flat dishes. More satellites: Dish Network and DirecTV (North America), 36°E (Tricolor, NTV Plus), Intelsat 20 at 68.5°E (Africa) and Viasat at 5°E. Share the angles for your dish with one tap.
