DishPointer

DishPointer is a specific tool, and it has no analogs. In part, we can talk about the analog SatFinder however, it is more of an assistant that selects the right place to place a satellite dish. Users should know in advance that in order for DishPointer to work, you will need a connection to the Internet and GPS. It is better to use fixed Wi-Fi, mobile network application frankly does not pull. By the way, it is advised to bring equipment to measure the angle of inclination and azimuth in advance, as the application will indicate and them, you can turn the dish exactly on the satellite, which will give the best signal.

Using the app

So how does DishPointer work! The benefit of this app is that it can determine where a satellite is now in geostationary orbit. Those who understand about you know that this helps a lot when installing an antenna, it lets you know which way is best to turn it. When the installation begins, you just need to turn on this app by activating the camera.

After that, the fun part starts

In this case, the smartphone should be directed to the sky, stand near a window, go out on the balcony. The connection is established when an arc of dots appears on the screen - these are satellites. Then we just click on the ones we are interested in, find out if there are obstacles in the way of the signal, and also, clarify the direction. By the way, satellites can be edited. You can remove unnecessary, or add those that are needed at another time. Thus, it is very convenient to rotate the dish to catch the best signal in any place.
