Tool to calculate the angles necessary for installing satellite dishes


Satellite Antenna Alignment is the program used to calculate the angles necessary for installing satellite dishes. It calculates azimuth and elevation positions for all satellites at once. You will get a clear picture about what satellites can be visible from the location where the dish will be installed. This program calculates theoretical value only, but factors like obstacles (buildings, trees), the landscape, the altitude, transponder orientation, polarization, etc should also be taken into account.

This program is also very easy to use. Just start the program. On the right hand side of the window, you will observe Site location boxes. In those boxes enter the geographical coordinates of the location of the satellite dish. Then you will observe the calculation for all satellites at once in the table to the left.
