About this app
satellite director pointer - TV Satellites is a tool for finding TV satellites and aligning satellite..
Use your point of view the reality of increased camera to see and target satellites in the sky..
It can be used anywhere in the world as all major television TV satellites are in the database.Ability to manually enter latitude and longitude location details in case Location can not be automatically determined in case of "no connectivity.
Finding a TVsatellite director pointer pointer or an antenna, in azimuth, can be pretty difficult. Before you can find it with a compass you have to do some calculations using GPS location, magnetic variation,. compass azimuth and satellite azimuth.
Satellite Director replaces all of that. See tips to success below.
The Lite version is slimmed down version of the full SatFinder, which has additional functionality such as Target satellite director pointer view and no ads.
SatFinder 3D is a tool for finding TV satellites and aligning satellite director pointer 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.
This application is also a database of transponders of all TV / RADIO satellites in the world. You can easily find a satellite director pointer settings.
____________________________________________________
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.
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.

*3-- tips to success: compas
*1-- do NOT go to close to the iron dish. iron lnb arm or iron pole (keep at least 30 cm distance) ...
*2-- calibrate the compass of the phone by waving it in a figure 8 before you start
*3-- optional: calibrate the compass of the phone by rolling your phone along its length axis about 2-3 turns (works on some phones)
