Tailgater

The dish for my RV app is now $10.

I think dish pointer is a $19 app where dish for my RV was free

That is the way things work most of the time when there are no obstructions. But there are times when there are a couple trees in the wrong place, or maybe just branches. In those situations, it is REALLY handy to have something like the DishformyRV app that uses the phone's camera to project all 3 of the individual western arc satellites as well as all 3 of the eastern arc satellites onto the sky. This allows me to give my golf ball antenna a better starting point.

I have the Winegard X2 which can get either the eastern or western Dish sats. So it can be very helpful to know that the western set is blocked but the eastern is available if I move my X2 20 feet.

This is especially helpful the further north you travel because the sats are lower on the horizon. Sometimes you gotta shoot between trees and then over a ridge.

IMHO that little $5 app is worth 10 times what I paid for it.

I take a quick look at the compass to determine North, walk outside, set the VuQube 2100 down with the handle pointing close to South, walk back in, turn on the VQ power source along with the TV and receiver and wait for the programming to load.

I use satfinder lite

Doesn't appear to be on Android that I can tell.

I think iPhone only.

there is a very popular app called dishPointer that works for Directv/Dish and any others that are out there. I use it often when camping to find a clear line of site.

I second Dishpointer Pro. I have been using it for years. Works for any satellite you configure it for.
