Satellite Director APPLICATION description

Finding a TV satellite or an antenna, 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.
With this program you can easily align your satellite dish. To determine the satellite dish direction, you should choose your satellite from drop down list, come near the dish, wait for the best accuracy, fix your position (long tap or menu), and moving away, get your current azimuth, most closely matching the nominal azimuth. The program uses GPS to determine your location.
satdirector (Satellite director) will help you to set up azimuth, elevation and LNB tilt for your 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.

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


How to use this app:

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.

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.
thank you for using satellite director.
