satellite director dish & satfinder app (beta)

TV satellitare SATFINDER app in azimut, è difficile. Direttore Satellite aiuta.

satellite director dish & satfinder app (Satellite Finder) is a tool which will help you to set up satellite dish tv. It will give you azimuth, elevation and LNB tilt for your directv location (based on GPS) and chosen satellite from list. The result is shown both as numeric data and graphical on google maps. It has also built in compass which will help you to find proper satellite azimuth. It also can use augmented reality to sat tv show where is satellite map on camera view.

Finding a TV satellite director 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 satellite dish tv below.

* Compass works only on satellite dish devices with compass sensor (magnetometer).

How to use this app:

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

B. The azimuth, elevation and skew angle is calculated for your location and chosen satellite map. 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 director. director If the compass value is correct – phone azimuth value will go green.

C. First of all, you should enable GPS and Internet on your phone. Remember dish tv channels – 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.

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.

D tips to success:

A- calibrate the compass of the satellite dish phone by waving it in a figure 8 before you start

B- optional: calibrate the compass of the sat tv phone by rolling your phone along its length axis about 2-3 turns (works on some

C- do NOT go to close to the satellite maps iron dish, iron lnb arm or iron pole (keep at least 30 cm distance)
