Quillan Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I looked at a couple but the second one down on the list in Google Play is brilliant (Satellite Director by SEKITZ). Simply select the satellite you want, turn on the GPS, stick it on the end of the dish arm (with no cable connected to the LNB) then rotate, raise or lower till the dot is in the centre of the cross hairs. Even shows how much to twist the LNB, magic. I am so chuffed, it took me two minutes to find 2F etc, it actually took me longer to do the bolts up than to find the satellite. Now I have C5 etc back and I am a very happy chap. It really is a super app, it is the first time I have ever managed to set a dish up myself, brilliant. Before anyone asks no I do not have any connection whatsoever with the people that wrote it and best of all it is free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anton Redman Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Sounds great and well within the capabilities of GPS and Tablets. 16 years ago I was well pleased with my self when I sorted an excel spreadsheet which took longitude,latitude and sat position to provide direction and orientation. Another bit of deskilling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means I can get more jobs done before the weekend which leaves more time to watch the start of the Six Nations and in particular England thrashing those nasty Scottish separatists chappies.

Quillan Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 I forgot to mention that I used it on my Samsung Galaxy SII so it works on both Android phones and tablets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Théière Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Been using that for about a year, so easy but the dish does through the compass out a bit as it's steel usually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[;-)] [B][/quote]I know i shouldn't rise to you but there is no evidence to say that the Scottish Rugby team are going to vote for separation. As far as I am aware it will be a secret ballot so we may never know the answer. Given the talk from the English camp I will regard any result short of a 20 point margin for England as a moral victory for Scotland. I sometimes wonder if the English are try to get rid of us Scots[6] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quillan Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 I believe Tuilagi won't be playing the first game against Scotland though injury which is a shame. He is a good points scorer and good at setting them up, he also has a fantastic work rate. I should imagine him not playing has bought a smile to one or two Scottish players.

CeeJay Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 QuillanI have 4.2.1 version. There is a message at the top of the screen which says....Your device isn't compatible with this version. Perhaps there is another version, although I can't find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
