Freeware Satellite Antenna Alignment program

[anik]

Just happened to spot this on a list of new software and figured it might be of interest to some of you:

Satellite Antenna Alignment 2.36.2
Publisher's Description:

Satellite Antenna Alignment is used to calculate the angles necessary for installing satellite dishes. The main difference from similar software is the possibility to calculate the position for all satellites at once. Thus, you get a clear picture about what satellites can be physically visible from the location where the dish will be installed. Additionally, the program has a mechanism for calculating the azimuth of the sun and you can do everything without a compass now.

That program is nice.

But I like to have the USAL motor angles, so here is the program I use. It is web based.

Enter your information, click "calculate", then click "Export data in CVS format..." at the bottom of the page.

Thanks!
Downloading it now. Looks interesting. Didn't really see anything for the skew setting, but aligning by the sun seems like a cool idea .
