I already posted this to Satellite Guys - Dishpointer forum, but they are not as active as this forum and no response yet over there.
I can get sat 119 and 129 but no 110. I have moved across about a 45* swath. I found 110 once but lost 119 and 129. can not find all three at the same time.
I wish I was smart enough to be a rookie.
Just installed DP AR on my iPad 2 WiFi only.
DP keeps telling me to turn on location services, even though it is on. Update today it found "location services" and seemed to work almost as expected. I could see the three satellites (110, 119, 129) right on top of the windshield, sitting here in the drivers seat. Location services seem to come and go at random. They are usually gone when I need them most. I am in a remote area with poor cell service.
Want outside by the tripod dish, there were the 3 sats up above the trees. PROGRESS!!
Now when I moved next to the drivers window where I originally wanted to place the tripod, I could see the 3 sats right in the trees.
Now first question: why is the azimuths at a different angle (direction) at the drivers side of my motor home then at the right front?
Now for the dumb question: What part of the dish do I align with the azimuth angle, the LNB? the arm that holds the LNB? an imaginary line perpendicular to some point on the face of the dish?
Next dumb question: how do I determine the vertical angle to hold the iPad to best duplicate the dish for LOS obstructions? or does it even matter since the camera will show the trees and buildings and the sats will move with the iPad.
Please help become a seasoned expert like you folks.
