Satellite Director: AlignDish - Your Ultimate Satellite Dish Alignment Tool

Overview

Satellite Finder is a powerful application designed to help you align your satellite dish efficiently. Whether you're looking to find TV satellite signals or determine the optimal azimuth angle, this app provides comprehensive assistance. Before setting up your dish, you'll need to perform calculations using your GPS location, compass azimuth, and other relevant data. Given the vast number of satellites available (over 200), locating the correct one can be time-consuming. However, this app streamlines the process, making it easier to pinpoint the specific satellite you need.

Key Features

Satellite Finder Pro offers a range of features to assist you in setting up your dish antenna. It calculates the azimuth, elevation, and LNB tilt based on your location and the selected satellite. The app displays these angles both numerically and graphically on a map. Additionally, SatFinder includes an augmented reality mode that helps you point your device toward the sky and visualize the geostationary satellite orbiting Earth.

Precise Location and Direction

Accurate alignment requires precise location data. The app's angle finder function enables you to set up your dish antenna anywhere. The built-in compass assists in finding the perfect azimuth angle and direction. Moreover, the app includes a live earth map, allowing you to see your current location and adjust accordingly. The level meter and bubble level features ensure that your dish is perfectly aligned by providing visual and numerical feedback.

Advanced Functionality

• Azimuth/Elevation: Easily view the azimuth and elevation angles for any satellite.
• Compass: Utilize the compass feature to find the right angle and satellite direction. Ensure your device has a compass sensor for optimal results.
• Accelerometer: Use the accelerometer feature for additional alignment assistance.
• Satellite Frequencies: Access satellite frequencies for enhanced performance.
• Biss Keys: Obtain the latest frequencies and Biss keys for various TV channels.

Setting Up Your Satellite Dish

To set up your satellite dish, follow these steps:

1. Enable GPS location and internet on your device.
2. Allow all necessary permissions within the app.
3. Choose a satellite from the provided list.
4. The app will provide azimuth, elevation, and polarization angles based on your location.
5. Rotate your device until it is aligned correctly.
6. Use the compass to find the dish direction in relation to cardinal points (east, west, north, south).
7. If your device lacks a compass, you can still set up your satellite using the map feature.

Satellite Director ensures that you can set up your dish antenna accurately and efficiently, even without a compass, making it an indispensable tool for anyone working with satellite dishes.
