Satellite Finder (DishAligner) vs Satellite Director Usage & Stats

The app helps to align your satellite dish. Based on your location and the selected satellite the app shows you the horizontal and vertical direction in wich you have to align your satellite dish. Depending on your location, the following satellites are available: 1DirecTV 9S ABS 2 ABS 3A ABS 6 Afghansat 1 Africasat 1a Afristar Al Yah 1 Alcomsat 1 Amazonas 1 Amazonas 2 AMC 10 AMC 11 AMC 15 AMC 16 AMC 18 AMC 2 AMC 21 AMC 3 AMC 6 AMC 8 AMC 9 AMC-12 AMC-23 Americas 13 Amos 3 Amos 4 Amos 7 Anik F1 Anik F1R Anik F2 Anik F3 Antik G1 Apstar 4 Apstar 6 Apstar 7 Apstar 9 Arabsat 2B Arabsat 5A Arabsat 5C Arsat 1 Arsat 2 AsiaSat AsiaSat 4 AsiaSat 5 Asiasat 6 AsiaSat 9 Asiastar Astra 19,2E Astra 1D Astra 1E Astra 1G Astra 2A Astra 2B Astra 2C Astra 2D Astra 2F Astra 2G Astra 3A Astra 3B Astra 4A Astra 5B Astra H Astra kr Astra L Astra M AzerSpace 1 BADR-3 BADR-4 BADR-5 BADR-6 Bangabandhu 1 Belintersat 1 Brasilsat B4 BSAT 3A BSAT 3C/ Chinasat 10 ChinaSat 11 ChinaSat 12 Chinasat 2D ChinaSat 6A Chinasat 6B ChinaSat 6C Chinasat 9A Ciel 2 DirectTV 5 DirectTV 7S DirecTV 10/12 DirecTV 11 DirecTV 15 DirecTV 1R DirecTV 4S DirecTV 4S/8 DirecTV 8 DirecTV-10 DirecTV-14 Dish 300 Dish 500 Echostar 1 Echostar 10 EchoStar 105 Echostar 12 EchoStar 14 EchoStar 16 EchoStar 18 Echostar 2 Echostar 23 Echostar 4 Echostar 6 Echostar 8 Echostar 9 Es'hail 1 Es'hail 2 Estrela do Sul2 Eutelsat 10A Eutelsat 113 West A Eutelsat 117 WestA Eutelsat 117 WestB Eutelsat 12 West B Eutelsat 16A Eutelsat 16B Eutelsat 16C Eutelsat 172A Eutelsat 172B Eutelsat 21B Eutelsat 25B Eutelsat 33C Eutelsat 36 WestA Eutelsat 36B Eutelsat 3B Eutelsat 5 West A Eutelsat 7 West A Eutelsat 7B Eutelsat 8 West B Eutelsat 8 West C Eutelsat 9B Eutelsat Hot Bird 13A Eutelsat Hot Bird 13D Eutelsat Telecom 2D Express AM44 Express AM5 Express AM6 Express AM7 Express AM8B Express AMU1 Express AT2 France Télécom 2D G-SAT 10 G-Sat 15 G-Sat 16 G-SAT 17 G-Sat 18 G-Sat 30 G-Sat 8 Galaxy 13 Galaxy 14 Galaxy 15 Galaxy 17 Galaxy 18 Galaxy 19 Galaxy 23 Galaxy 28 Galaxy 3C Hellas Sat 3 Hispasat 1C Hispasat 1D Hispasat 30W-4/30W-5 Hispasat 36 West A Hispasat 74W Horizons 1 Horizons 127°W Horizons 2 Horizons 3e Hot Bird 13B/C/E Insat 4A Intelsat 10-02 Intelsat 11 Intelsat 12 Intelsat 14 Intelsat 15 Intelsat 16 Intelsat 17 Intelsat 18 Intelsat 20 Intelsat 22 Intelsat 25 Intelsat 28 Intelsat 29e Intelsat 33e Intelsat 34 Intelsat 35e Intelsat 36 Intelsat 37e Intelsat 901 Intelsat 902 Intelsat 904 Intelsat 905 Intelsat 906 Intelsat 907 JCSAT 110R JCSAT 15 JCSAT 16 JCSAT 4B JCSAT 5A Ka-Sat 9A KazSat 2 KazSat 3 Koreasat 5 Koreasat 6 Koreasat 7 LaoSat 1 Measat 3 Measat 3a Measat 3b Mexsat Bicentenario MonacoSat N-Sat 110 NigComSat 1R Nilesat 201 Nimiq 4 Nimiq 5 Nimiq 6 NSS 10 NSS 12 NSS 5 NSS 6 NSS 7 NSS 806 NSS 9 Optus 10 Optus D2 Opus 2D Opus C1 Opus D3 Papala D QuetzSat 1 Rascom QAF 1R SES 1 SES 12 SES 14 SES 15 SES 2 SES 3 SES 4 SES 5 SES 6 SES 7 SES 8 SES 9 Sirius 4 Sirius FM 6 Sirius XM 3 Radio Sirius XM 4 Radio Sirius XM 5 Sky Brasil 1 Sky Mexico 1 Spaceway 1 Spaceway 2 ST 2 Star One C-1 Star One C-12 Star One C-2 Star One C-3 Star One D1 STKSat 1 Superbird B3 Superbird C2 T 16 Telestar 11N Telestar 14R Telestar 18 Telkom 1 Telkom 3S Telkom 4 Telstar 12 Vantage Telstar 12/12V Telstar 14R Telstar 19 Vantage Thaicom Thaicom 4 Thaicom 5 Thaicom 6 Thaicom 7 Thaicom 8 Thor 3 Thor 5 Thor 7 Túpac Katari 1 TurkmenÄlem Türksat 3A Türksat 4A Venesat 1 Viasat 2 Vinasat 1 Vinasat 2 XM 3 XM 4 Yamal 202 Yamal 401 Yamal 402

Satellite Director

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 your GPS location, magnetic variation, compass azimuth and satellite position. Satellite Director replaces all of that. See tips to success below. Access to sensor data (GPS location and compass) is required to calculate the position of the satellite in the sky. Access to internal/external storage is required to store a screenshot or to store a changed list of satellites (you can delete/add/change satellites). Access to a camera is required to imitate a 'look through view' or 'mirror effect' which allows to align the satellite dish (lnb arm) with the displayed arrow. Satellite Director does not collect or share any personal or non-personal data. Satellite Director does not use any form of advertising. 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 !! Unfortunately you have to calibrate the compass before using it. Metal covers/cases or covers/cases with metal/magnetic closure will influence/disrupt the compass of your phone or tablet. Do not use these covers !! The compass of your phone can also get inaccurate because it is affected by other electro - magnetic fields, iron or because it is weakened by age. Calibrating the compass may not help anymore. PRECISION DEPENDS ON THE QUALITY OF YOUR PHONES HARDWARE. Warning: If you use Cyanogenmod / Cymod then you may run into Android compatibility issues and the app may not work. You should then complain to Cyanogenmod / Cymod and not to me. This app is add-free ! Help me to continue the work on this app and watch some of my videos on Youtube. The advertising in the videos provides some required money (houres of work, phones to test on, satellite equipment, etc.). How does it work ? Just enable the GPS in your phone or enter your GPS location, select the desired TV satellite or antenna location and point your phone to the sky to target (find) the TV satellite. You have found the satellite when the white ball is in the white circle and the cyan ball is in the cyan circle. Align, in azimuth, the offset arm of the satellite dish to the cyan arrow on the phones display and the satellite dish is aligned in azimuth with the satellite. Selectable audio tone, camera preview, continuous mode (no pause), color pickers or a user defined satellite position may make it easier for you to find the desired TV satellite. The satellite list contains 280 satellites. Optional you can take a photo (resized)/screenshot by touching on the director tab. The photo/screenshot is ONLY stored on the phones memory card. Optional: you can get an indication when you are to close to iron (dish/pole) in the form of an green/yellow/red bar. Satellite positions are derived from Agi's database. Some positions may seem not accurate (example: Hispasat 30°w is at 29.96°w in the satellite list) but they are very accurate. New phones with Android 4: in case of a wrong compass reading the "Settings" screen has options to correct the compass readings !!!! Previous versions are available from my website. If you have any questions, requests or problems PLEASE write an email. All language translations by Google Translator. 3 tips to success: 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)
