app for dish sat finder
Anybody have a recommendation for an app to do a line of sight satellite finder when setting up a pathway x2 dish to be sure to be clear of obstructions. Did a search and didn't come up with anything,...

Who makes the best RV antannas? (WInegard of course) both Sat (Pathfinder X2) and OTA (Sensar IV with Sensar Pro indoor module)
So naturally who makes the best Pointer app. works for both OTA and SAT?
Winegard. Now I'll admit to using other apps in the past and they were good but the winegard app has a feature they lacked on OTA. (Most of the sat finder apps have this) Augmented reality
How it works
For OTA I open app and hit ANTENNA. then it lists the stations that might be in range on a map.. IF I KNOW WHICH WAY IS NORTH.. Go for it based on map but if I'm a tad confused I an scroll down and pick a station to "Shoot for" then holding the pone in Landscape and straight up and down slowly turn tull the tower is in the center of the screen (Tower is an anmation) point the antenna the same way.
For sat you will need to both turn and elevate till the sat is centered and if the camera is seeing trees... MOVE.
