Satellite Finder - Sattelite Locator APPLICATION description

Finding a TV satellite 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.

Português: Telefones sem bússola não pode baixar este aplicativo.
WARNING: YOUR PHONE or TABLET MUST HAVE A COMPASS !!!!
WITHOUT COMPASS YOU CANNOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP.
Check "Satellite Locator" which uses GPS locations to find a satellite.
Some phone/tablet compass are really bad so compare your phone/tablet compass with a real compass !!


SatFinder (Satellite Finder) is a tool which will help you to set up satellite dish. It will give you 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. It also can use augmented reality to show where is satellite on camera view.

Get maximum signal from your satellite dish. With help of Enigma2 based box (e.g. Dreambox) and DMSatFinder - simple but really powerful sat finder tool - it would be piece of cake.
DMSatFinder requires box with Enigma2 software, connected to LAN and with WebInterface enabled.

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. 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.

Enigma2 based boxes are great, but with this tool could be even better. DMSatFinder shows signal values from your E2 box signal meter. It has nice, BUILT-IN BEEPER, so you'll have your both hands free. Now it includes handy CHANNEL/BOUQUET SWITCHER.

Never again need to watch TV screen or ask another person for help while aligning your satellite dish! Grab this tool and give it a try. You'll love it :)
