Sat finder for camping

[Tvland1]

Considering using orby for camping but not sure what I'm going to need for aiming dish..Have no problem using the very old SatFinder SF-95 on Dish but I know nothing about this gtmedia v8 finder..Do I need to have data on cell phone for this app to work? Most of the time where we camp theres no cell service?Any suggestions or advise?

The best way to acquaint yourself with setting up a system is to do it in your yard before you go anywhere. Multiple setups on different surfaces will demonstrate the importance of getting the mast plumb.

The secret is getting the azimuth, elevation and skew numbers together for your planned campsite(s) before you leave (since you don't appear to have data on your phone). You preset the elevation and skew and the rest is just turning the dish on the pole.

They sell a Bluetooth Satellite Meter for $20 from Orby, that you use with your cell phone. Works ok for getting a signal, but not super accurate for exact precise pointing.

Being Bluetooth, it doesn't require data, but you must have downloaded the app.

That was my main concern is that the App will work without having cell signal..I have some signal Apps that won't work without cell signal
