The camper in the next site asked for some help in getting his dish aligned for Direct TV. He said he has aligned it before without issue using compass etc. But where we are now it is heavily treed and knows he can't just place the dish out, he has to find an open area first.
Now he mentioned that once he had seen a person out with a smart phone walking around and the fellow mentioned he was using an app to find a good spot to place the dish before doing the adjustment. Now I have an Android smart phone and could probably help him in getting the app but I don't have clue what to look for in the App store.
Does anyone know of one that we could use to help find a place under the tree canopy to place his dish?
I know nothing about Direct TV sat and how it works.
Thanks

Doesn't help you, but the Align-a-site works great, especially sitiing the dish with heavy tree cover since you can point the dish accurately in breaks in the tree cover. It also doesn't require the dish to be completely accurately plumbed in one plane.
