Satellite Finder (Android app)

Pyongyang

Has anyone tried this app?

Or is it safer to go the traditional method?

If you go to www.dishpointer.com you will be able to download their (paid) app for aligning your dish to any satellite. Really good app as you can find any satellite you need. You'll still need to fine tune your dish to get the best signal but at least it points you in the right direction and you won't spend hours wondering what satellite you've locked onto. $19.99 payable by paypal, which equates to about €15.

I have been using the dishpointer app for a few weeks now and it will save a lot of time when deciding the position for the dish to be sited on a property. It is primarily a line of sight app to see if there are any obstructions to the satellite you require.
You will still need some kind of meter or squealer to align the dish once you have found the correct site for the dish.
I use it on an android phone, recommended

I agree with excollier, solution I use for my DVB-S2 PCI : Dishpointer + FastSatfinder

I use the finder on www.lyngsat.com
and http://www.smw.se/SMWLink.htm

Far better than Dishpointer app, which is available on their Web site as web app free.
