Good Evening All.

I have noted that we have new and old sat hunters in the world having difficulty with satellite tracking.

To make sat hunting easier go for a mobile phone that has android on board.
Best go for a phone offering Android4.0 platform and above.

For satellite tracking you require an application offering compass with azimuth which you can download on your android phone from the Play.google market>>> https://play.google.com/store/search?q=compass&c=apps&hl=en

The are couple of android satellite tracking application on offer in the play google market that make satellite tracking a easy >>> https://play.google.com/store/search?q=satellite&c=apps&hl=en

Some of the applications are free while others on sale.

2 of my favorite android sat tracking application are Satellite AR and Dish pointer>


Satellite AR

Ever wondered what satellites are flying above your head when you look up? This app will show them to you using augmented reality. Point your phone's camera to the sky, and small icons track the locations of various satellites. For many, a line indicates their projected path across the sky. Those flying in sunlight are labeled in yellow, and those in the shadow of the Earth or Moon, in blue.
This yellow and blue coloring is useful to casual observers who go out looking at the night sky for satellites. Typically, those in shadow (blue) are not visible at all, while satellites in Sun (yellow) may be visible even to the naked eye, depending on size, altitude, and other factors. The best time to spot satellites is often just after dusk or just before dawn, when the Earth's shadow is at a steep enough angle from the observer's point of view that the satellites above are still lit by direct sunlight.
The app also contains a simple star map. The brightest 2000 stars are shown as white dots on the screen, to help the user align the app's display with the sky above

To use Satellite AR you need your phone to be online.



DishPointer Pro

Requirements: Android 2.0
Overview: Makes you find the satellite every time, fast and easy.

Point your phone towards the sky and see on the live camera screen where the satellites are, any line of sight (LoS) issues and the look angles. Couldn't be easier to install your sat dish with this augmented reality satellite finder.

+ SCREEN Capture: show your customers no line of sight issues, save it to the sd card or email it to back office.
+ Works with all geostationary satellites
+ Works everywhere around the world
+ No Internet access needed to operate it (occasionally it is required)
+ Add, edit and delete satellites
+ Select favorite satellites
+ Azimuth, elevation and skew results

We used Dishpointer app to install Nilesat. Installed the dish on Sunday with Sat mate limuru.


As reviewed and mentioned by
***** Wall Street Journal

***** BusinessWeek
***** TELE-Satellite Award Winner
***** Engadget and many many more

With over 7000 downloads it's the No.1 app for satellite professionals and diy-enthusiasts alike.

As one pro puts it: "It's invaluable, gets the job done in half the time".

The is best Sat Android application that i would highly recommend.

You can work with the application both online and offline.

Helps avoid satellite line abstraction before dish installation.

You can either buy the app from play.google site or down the application via torrent so as to save your money from >> pirate bay.
Go for dishpointer AR PRO 2.0 APK.

EBSpro Mobile

EBSpro Mobile is an Android application that work together with EBSpro .

EBSpro Mobile app plus EBSpro PC software are used on TBS Tuner Cards like TBS 5925, 6925 plus Android handset.

TBS 5925 or

TBS 6925 Pro card plus other models

It's called EBSpro Mobile and is an app that will allow you to align your dish in the best possible way, that is, with a real DVB-S/2 tuner in the other side (in your computer).

For example, you can create some profiles in EBSpro (under Windows) with some specified transponders that you know, then, in EBSpro Mobile you can select and lock this transponders and align the dish with the help of the measurements (Quality, level, SNR, BER ..).
Also, have an option for tell you what's the current SNR level (You no need to see the screen all the time!).
Thats not all, EBSpro Mobile also have got a basic positioner for motorized dishes.

mine is through out the day with astrovox 9000,supermax lnb,8ft dish.a signal of 42%

sure during the day i have 70%but i need 72%signal to watch.apart from kenyan mux and tvt what else are you getting

 

[ugango]

The Corrugated part is a transponder/ transmitter, you dont need that for FTA. The thing looking like a handle on top is an LNB, but usually its a single polarity LNB so you dont need that for FTA. The funnel shaped thing (up to the blacK joint) is the feed horn, thats what you need. But you will have to be creative to find a way of connecting your standard KU lnb to the small end of it and then mounting the two at the correct place in front of the dish.

LUNSAT, good info. thanks. which is the best LNG to use with the feed horn on my 1.8m offset fibre dish?

LUNSAT, good info. thanks. which is the best LNG to use with the feed horn on my 1.8m offset fibre dish?

Use any good LNB for Offset dishes (i.e one without an external feedhorn of its own), maybe Samson.

For those looking for the best C-Band lnb, go for twin Eurostar ESCTD-700.

On a 1.8 meter prime focus dish i can get all the transponders on Amos 5 C-Band.

The LNB works way better than Supermax 777.

Will help with Eutelsat 10A (Kenya Mux) issue.
