Dish Install, Pointer & Align

The Dish Install, Pointer & Align app is a vital tool for satellite dish and antenna setup, simplifying what was once a complex task. It assists in pinpointing the exact location for satellite installations, ensuring clear reception and optimal performance.

Utilizing augmented reality technology, it offers an innovative way to display satellites as they orbit in space. This is helpful for users to find the perfect placement for their antenna, avoiding obstructions like walls or trees. The tool also uses your smartphone's GPS to display your precise location and guide you towards satellite alignment from your position.

Key features include a visual and audible compass that accelerates beeps or points with an arrow, depending on the device's alignment, aiding in antenna orientation. The accelerometer feature also assists in confirming the antenna's mount is perfectly vertical, adding a level of precision.

The adjustment process is thorough, involving several steps such as selecting a satellite, authorizing geolocation, and using augmented reality to confirm the installation site. Users will also check mount verticality, adjust the LNB rotation, set the elevation, and utilize both visual and sound-assisted searches for refinements.

For full functionally, the app needs access to your smartphone's camera, compass, gyroscope, accelerometer, and GPS. For devices without these sensors, users can manually adjust the marker on the map or employ a separate device for compass readings.

In support of an efficient installation process, the program offers tips on recalibration and how to avoid magnetic interference, aiming to enhance the user experience. Features such as augmented reality and compass orientation are included exclusively in the full version of this application.
