<div class="bbWrapper">Its not a satellite meter, it lets you see if you have a clear view of the sky to see the satellites you need to receive.<br /> <br /> I showed this program off to a number of DISH execs and they were really really impressed. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">So if I set of a spot of my old dish and the put up a new dish at same spot will it work that way as a way to mark the spot</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Just wish I knew an installer in southern Illinois that could help me</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">It&#039;s easy for some but not always easy for a novice. Good luck finding a installer to come out for free. Just call Dish</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">One of the things DISH told me the would want to do is possibly get DISHPOINTER built into their new DISH Installer/Retailer App which they introduced at Team Summit.<br /> <br /> The ability to instantly see where the best place to put the dish, without trying to guess is a BIG time and money saver!</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Fwiw, I&#039;m not a big fan of this app. It seems very dependent on the accuracy of the compass in the phone.
