This app allows you to see if there are any obstructions in the way prior to placing your dish such as trees or buildings. This app is NOT intended as a tool to help you align your dish.
The following Dish Network satellites are supported: 61.5°w, 72.7°w, 77°w, 110°w, 118.7°w, 119°w and 129°w.
This is accomplished by using the iPhones built in video camera with an overlay of all the DISH Networks residential satellites as dots in the sky.
To use, simply point your iPhone towards the southern sky and see on the live video screen. The DISH Network satellites will show up as red dots as you move the video camera around, allowing you to quickly and easily determine if there are any obstructions in the way, like trees or buildings.
ATTENTION: This software will only work on the above supported devices and will not work on any iPhone older than the 3GS.
This software allows you to see if satellite reception is plausible at your current location and is not intended to help align your dish.
When using this application the iPhones internal compass is used to help locate satellites in the sky. It is extremely important that this software is used outdoors away from objects that can cause interference to the compass. Any compass interference will cause the satellites to move sporadically. Please avoid using this software by any object that can cause magnetic interference.
