Direct TV satellite finder app for my phone

What program is best for us to download to find the Direct TV satellites. We just downsized into a small class c from a Class A that had the Winegard on the roof. We just purchased the Slimline Mobile Satellite on a tripod and need to know what is the best program to use

Thanks

    That was a great app. I purchased it @ 2009 or 2010 for $20. Shortly thereafter it became abandonware for a good period, at least 5 years. It was only recently that another entity picked it up and is now apparently supporting it. They will not honor the keys of any previous purchasers of the original developers app, so if your key was locked, say you picked up a new phone, you're dead in the water.

    Screw em, Its a principal thing. A great app but not great enough to pay for it twice. Plenty of other free ones that work just as well.

    There are many. I like the Winegard TV-Finder. yup Winegard the RV TV specialists have an app.

  • The Directv receiver works just fine, unless you're in trees and need to shoot between branches, then SatelliteAR works.

    The beeps have been back for some time now and that helps.
