Pointing your antenna just got easier. We developed a series of satellite pointing apps for android phone which are available in the tools section of the Google Android Marketplace. One is the CyTVSatFinder app specifically designed to help the person find the correct direction to point your antenna. While this app does come at a small cost, a free app (CyGPSFinder) will demonstrate the capabilities befre you purchase to ensure it meets your needs. The usefulness of this app is apparent when you select the satellite of interest and move to the Finder tab where the phone will help the user point directly at the satellite. That's right! Your phone will point you toward the satellite. Just point your antenna where the phone says and you're done. It's pretty cool.

This app would provide a nice little backup for you if your powered system fails, as well. Also, we can easily produce a more tailored app if there is a ned for it. For example, CyTVSatFinder provides locations for many broadcast satellites. It's possible an app tailored to just DishTV broadcasts, or just DirectTV broadcasts for example, would be more useful.
