This neat app will use your phones camera and show you were the geostationary television and radio satellite are in the sky.
One tip you will need to Calibrate or as I like to say Collaborate the app. Or whatever
As i do not recommend as this as a tool that will get your dish fully set up. It can help you figure out where to put your dish if you may have objects like trees or buildings in your way!
But it is free and worth playing around with
