Satellite Finder - Satellite Pointer

尋星儀 - 衛星指針

SatFinder dishpointer satellite finder is a tool for finding TV satellites and aligning satellite dishes. Use your Augmented Reality Camera view to see and target satellites in the sky. It can be used anywhere in the world since all major TV satellites are in the database compass Setting up your satellite dish requires a lot of calculation and skill

to discover where the satellite is to ensure that the set-up will free you from any clogging Satellite dish pointer helps you find and point your dish with a minimum of hassle .

Satellite dish pointer comes with a customizable user list of over 230 geostationary satellites and has a very simple and intuitive screen to guide you to where the satellite is in the sky.

The solution for the satellite will be displayed and an arrow points to the location if it is off the screen. The satellite is aligned when the satellite icon is centered in the crosshair.

How to use this app: dish network dishpointer satellite finder

1. First of all, you should enable GPS and Internet on your phone. Remember – in most cases it is impossible to receive GPS signal inside buildings. So if you want to get very accurate location – please go near windows or go even outside compass .

In current app version location should be found quite immediately. So if you stuck with ‘no location’ message please make ensure that you got enabled all required features/permissions.

2. If app found your location, you must select desired satellite. To do this you must find icon with magnification glass and tap it. On the list you will find all satellites with elevation angle above zero degrees. Remember: satellite name doesn’t affect the calculation of angles. Important thing is satellite position azimuth .

3. The azimuth, elevation and skew angle is calculated for your location and chosen satellite. Under calculated values there is a compass with graphical representation of azimuth angle. The azimuth angle is calculated with magnetic inclination. Remember – every time you use compass – you should calibrate it. Green line represents your phone azimuth. So if on compass green and red indicators are on each other – front of the phone should show you direction to the satellite. If the compass value is correct – phone azimuth value will go green.
