## What is Sat>IP Alignment?

This application is designed to help users point their satellite dish/antenna using a SAT>IP server or a SAT>IP compliant IP-LNB.   

For a semi-precise first alignment, users can first use the augmented reality tracker which will save time while searching for the orbital position.   It uses location, compass and camera sensors from the user's mobile phone or tablet and will guide the user in the right  direction. 

After this initial step, the user can use the calculated azimuth, elevation and tilt values to calibrate the satellite dish/antenna.   

Once everything is set up correctly, the user should connect to the SAT>IP server, select the satellite transponder used for pointing and then press "scan". 

The analyzer will give the user all required information to fine-tune the pointing and after signal lock has been obtained will provide a list all of the available channels on that transponder.

## Key features

### 1/5 — Looks really useful but doesn’t work...

*2020-08-16, version 3.0*

...on latest iOS.

### 4/5 — Great alignment tool if you have SAT>IP

*2015-01-01, version 1.2*

As well as for initial dish set-up, the list of stations per transponder you can retrieve with this app is very useful for tracking changes. It works flawlessly, though in common with many FTA gadgets the satellite transponder lists are not up-to-date.
