Unfortunately I have a new phone because my old phone is a dead, dead, dead. If anyone learns about a good AR satellite finder, I'd really appreciate a posting. My old Suunto Tandem works, sort of, so I'll just use it for now. Thanks for all the ideas.

Yeah, the deal is that the Dishpointer Pro app is not working on my android (ver 14) phone. I do use the Dishpointer.com site to get coordinates and elevations, however. The reason I'm looking for a replacement phone app is that we often camp in heavily treed areas; an "AR" view of the...

Thanks for posting about the Winegard app; it looks excellent. But, google play for android says it's not available for for my android phone.

I've used Dishpointer Pro for years to find a hole in the trees that allows me to get DirecTV on my dish at an RV site. But now, Dishpointer Pro shows "not licensed" on my Android phone, and the app is no longer available on Google Play. I really just need the app for AR display of the...

I called the DirecTv customer service line. The rep told me that no HR24s were available, that they could only send the client/server devices. I gently asked him if he would check further, and after MUCH back and forth with "Please sir stay on the line I'm so sorry this is taking so long" (and...

Thanks. It seems like if I can't get a replacement HR24, the HR54 would work for me since 4K is not an issue for me. I assume my current RV antenna set up (for the RV, I use a smaller Dish antenna with a DirecTv arm, 4-out LNB, and SWM-8; Accutrac III+ used for aiming. It's all old, but it...

I've had DirecTV for years. My account is in good standing. I have two HR-24's. One is failing due to a very loud and rattling cooling fan. I'd like a replacement HR-24. 1) But I've read on this forum that replacement HR24's are no longer being sent? 2) If no HR24's, what do I want to ask...

Is there any online lookup to see what channels DTv has in its AM-21 database for a particular zipcode?

I'm an RV'er too and understand your pain. One hint: when pointing your dish set your tilt to 90 degrees and sight carefully along the exact center of your dish along the proper compass heading.

But his receiver wouldn't be authorized for 390 or 392 or 396, right? How could he receive those channels?

I want to calculate skew as DTv measures it from the skew reading as Dishpointer give it. For example, if the Dishpointer skew is -6.8, is the DTv skew 83.2? And if the Dishpointer skew is +6.8, is the DTv skew 96.8?

This elevation adjustment method works well for me:

Makes sense. Thanks.

Let's assume a Slimline dish is properly aligned. If I replace a SL5 LNB with a SL3 LNB and I do not move the dish nor bend the arm will the dish be properly aligned for the SL3?
