Satellite Finder: Dish Pointer

Find where to point your satellite dish and check the view of the sky before you install it. Satellite Finder combines dish angles, a live globe, camera guidance and solar-panel alignment in one app.

FIND YOUR SATELLITE
• Set your place with GPS, enter coordinates or pick a spot on the map.
• Search the satellite list by name or orbital position and see which satellites are visible from your location.
• Read azimuth and elevation, with LNB skew where applicable.
• Explore Your horizon or Earth globe views, with the satellite arc, sun and moon.

AIM WITH LIVE GUIDANCE
Use the camera readout or guided steps to turn and tilt towards your target. Follow the on-target sound and vibration, then check LNB rotation where supported, with guidance for the selected feed type. Use compass checks based on a shadow, the sun, a landmark, the moon or the Pole star.

CHECK THE SKY BEFORE YOU INSTALL
Scan the skyline with your camera to estimate whether trees, buildings or other obstacles block the satellite's direction. Save candidate spots, compare their clearance and review the wider sky view for an internet dish. See how raising a dish could change clearance.

SET UP AND TUNE YOUR DISH
View dish presets, dish-size guidance and receiver tuning values. Keep your own transponder entries and check which listed satellite is nearest to the direction an existing dish appears to face. Sun times help you plan sun-based checks and see predicted sun-outage periods.

ALIGN SOLAR PANELS
Switch to Panel to check facing and tilt for your place and season. Explore the sun's path, measure the panel's angle with your phone and use tilt reminders to plan seasonal adjustments.

LEARN AS YOU GO
Follow the built-in tour, lessons and practice sky before using the tool outdoors. Help explains dish aiming, compass checks, LNB skew and panel alignment.

Explore all features ad-free during the five-day introductory trial. Basic alignment remains available afterwards; advanced features have access limits.

Compass and angle accuracy depend on the phone's sensors and nearby interference. Camera sky scans estimate visible obstacles. The app calculates directions; it does not measure satellite signal strength or confirm reception. Use your receiver or a signal meter for final tuning, and check current transponder details with your operator. Camera and location are used for the features you choose.
