    What satellite am I on?

    ADVERTS 1
    Does anyone know of a program that will identify the satellite your are pointed at? I point my dishes rather blindly and would love to have my laptop up there with me and have it show / tell me what bird I'm pointed at.

    There are meters that will ID birds while you are aiming around.

    My STB will show the TP ID if I'm locked in the dish setting menu.

    Doesn't that PCI card have that function?
    I prefer sat locations vs. spacecraft names
