YouTube - DishPointer Augmented Reality (iPhone Satellite Finder)

Scott, I made this for your new iPhone 3GS, check out this video: Augmented Reality App – the Next Generation Satellite Finder | DishPointer.com You'll get it for free as soon as it's released, promised! Alan

The elevation on DishPointer is pretty accurate - it's based on sound formulas.

Many people asked me to add multi-lnb support to my site DishPointer.com » Satellite Dish Pointer / Alignment Calculator with Google Maps. So I started looking into it and saw that the DirecTV dish skews provided by the receivers don't follow the conventional theory - the question is just why...

Done some drawings to show the problem for two different zip codes: The green line is the tilt the receiver gives for the zip code (can someone verify, please?). The red line is the tilt I think it should be. As you can see, for the 3 LNB and the 5 LNB, the tilt is almost the same. That...

Hi Does anyone know why the tilt on a 5-LNB dish is different than the one on a 3-LNB dish? Looking at the satellite range (99-119) and (101-119) the tilt HAS to be roughly the same, or am I missing something? The fact that the 5-LNB centers on the 101 and the 3-LNB centers on the 110 shouldn't...

oops, wrong forum, will post one level higher.

I'm scratching my head on this - I have really no idea why that would be. Does this example work for you?: Google Maps API Example - Geocoding API That would be now interesting to find out.

Scott, just removed the signatures but then had a second idea - I'll just remove all the google ads. Now there is more space for the map. I guess it's fine now to put back the signature with a link to DishPointer.com - Easy Satellite Dish Pointing

Hi folks, thank you very much for all your kind comments. It's great to see that experts like yourselfes find the tool useful. I'm just wondering whether some of you could help me out: This tool is unique and has not been done before but I'm afraid that people have already started copying it...

I've just added it to the list, is that ok like this now?

Thank you, this is a great board - can't believe I've never came across it (probably due to the fact that I'm living across the ocean). Great to get all these positive feedbacks on the google maps calculator - much appreciated. I guess it's a very fine line between spam and making people aware...
