Sattelite app
Can anyone suggest any apps on iphone that gives the position of the sattelites in the sky. Someone toldme about one about a year ago but it wasn’t very good.

- Dish pointer pro
- donn0128, thanks for quick responce. I appreciate it. Trying to set up mobile playmaker in my fiver but can’t get signal.
- Remember you need a clear view of the southern sky. Any app will only snow you via the camera where thst might be.
- I've found Winegard's free "TV Signal Finder" app to be an equal to DishPointer Pro, plus it also has an OTA tower locator feature.

Good on you!, nice find. Thanks.- I use SatFinder Lite. Works for me.
- Thanks to all for your responce. Safe travels.
- I really appreciate the new Winegard app that is suggested. I have dishpointer pro and have used it for a long time but the Winegard app is a real treat to use. The over the air channels are a great feature.
- Since WINEGARD makes Antennas. they alaso make a very fine app for your phone. Not only will it do Satelites with augmented reality. but it does Television stations (OTA) the same way.
For satellite it will open the camera and lay a cross hair. hou turn (Pan) till you see one of the "hairs" and TILT to see the other and if are targeting trees. BAD SPOT - With all these apps, one thing to first check is that your phone compass is accurate. Sometimes it's necessary to recalibrate your compass. The sat locations are all calculated from your location and magnetic North, and if your compass is off, so are the sat locations. Got bit by this once, and now I check each time before I use an app to make sure my phone is showing a proper N.
