Download Satellite Director 1 37 apk
Finding a TV satellite, in azimuth, can be pretty difficult. Before you can find it with a compass you have to do some calculations using GPS location, magnetic variation, compass azimuth and satellite azimuth.
Satellite Director replaces all of that. See tips to success below !!!
Just enable the GPS in your phone or enter your GPS location, select the desired TV satellite and point your phone to the sky to target (find) the TV satellite. You have found the satellite when the white ball is in the white circle and the cyan ball is in the cyan circle. Align, in azimuth, the offset arm of the satellite dish to the cyan arrow on the phones display and the satellite dish is aligned in azimuth with the satellite.
Selectable audio tone, camera preview, continuous mode (no pause), color pickers or a user defined satellite position may make it easier for you to find the desired TV satellite.
The satellite list contains 280 satellites.
Optional you can take a photo (resized)/screenshot by touching on the director tab. The photo/screenshot is ONLY stored on the phones memory card.
Optional: you can get an indication when you are to close to iron (dish/pole) in the form of an green/yellow/red bar.
This app is add-free!
Satellite positions are derived from Agis database. Some positions may seem not accurate (example: Hispasat 30°w is at 29.96°w in the satellite list) but they are very accurate.
New phones with Android 4: in case of a wrong compass reading the "Settings" screen has options to correct the compass readings !!!!
The market page may state this app is compatible with your device but I have learned that that is not always the case. The only sensor you need is orientation (compass). Use app "Sensor List" to verify that your device has it.
PRECISION DEPENDS ON THE QUALITY OF YOUR HARDWARE.
Metal objects can cause interferences.
Previous versions avialable from my website.
If you have any questions or problems PLEASE write an email. Its NOT possible to respond to the reviews!

3 tips to success:
1- do NOT go to close to the iron dish or pole (keep at least 30 cm distance)
2- calibrate the compass of the phone by waving it in a figure 8
3- optional: calibrate the compass of the phone by rolling your phone along its length axis about 2-3 turns (works on some phones)
