This is a one stop shop as long as you have a clear line of sight to the satellite.

My DISH antenna automatically finds the satellites so I used the app to make sure my rig is in the correct orientation between trees. The first time I used the app I thought I must have done something wrong, but the dish locked onto that sat's anyway so I forgot about the incident. Now at my next campsite there are lots of trees so I needed an accurate assessment of the satellite locations. I found a site with a nice clearing right where the app points to for 110W, 119W and 129W. But it was not correct! My Winegard 1000 pointed 30 degrees more eastward and locked onto the satellites- even with the trees in the way. Since then with the wind moving the trees I have lost my signal and it is too much effort to move the rig. Plus I can not use this app to reliably find the satellites. And yes, I have checked the app several times since then and it points right at the clear space without trees. I did this while standing on my rig at the Dish antenna for one of these rechecks. Something is wrong with the logic and or math of this program considering these satellites are of the most common used for the Dish Network in the Western states.

Great App, make short work of pointing Azimuth. The only thing about these apps, they don't really explain HOW to use them. I set my phone on top of the LNB, in a crease to keep it as square to the LNB as possible. Looking at me. Achieved green field and my Box was downloading info on the first try. A little tweaking afterward and all is great!

Works well with the tripod dish. Tip- load a compass program on your phone first. They usually require you to calibrate the phone for directional accuracy. Once calibrated, turn on the Dish Align app and Bang! Hits 101 every time.

My husband and I travel in our RV for his work. Direct TV wanted to charge us $200 to set up our dish when we moved parks. We brought our big dish with us, downloaded this app and got it aligned and running on the very first try!!! Super easy and SUPER quick and saved us BIG BUCKS! YAAAAY!!!
