DishPointer Augmented Reality

See if you have a clear line of sight to the satellite. Just point your iPhone/iPod towards the sky and the app tells you at what elevation angle you are holding the device. If you dont know the satellite elevation, the satellite position will be displayed (e.g. 110W or 13E) based on your location as you tilt the device.

The best part comes now: If you have an iPhone, the inbuilt camera will let you see if you have clear line of sight. Once you established the required angle, the camera preview can be switched on. If there is a clear sky right at the center, you are good to go. If the a tree, a building or another obstacle, you will not be able to receive the satellite and should find another spot for your dish. You can also take a picture and then have a target cross layed over the picture to clearly identify any obstacles.
