Dishpointer website

[wium78]

Did you enter your location, at the left?
Did you choose "motorized systems", "true south/true north" (or a specific H-H motor type) at the right?

Otherwise, can you share a picture of what appears on your screen? Then maybe we can understand what is the issue.

I used Dishpointer without any problems in the past.After pressing search all I get is a green marker showing my residence as per screen shot.
The App on the mobile phone is useless as it does not show motorised etc.

So you've managed to enter your location, in the (left) red field at the top of the screen.

Now in the right red field at the top of the screen, click the 'down arrow' at the right, so that a roll-down menu appears.
In that menu, look for 'true south/true north' (or the motor you have).

That'll work, I guess.

Here is someone too with problems: Dish pointer ? out of order ?? - Satellites Community

So it might be that it is computer-dependent?

I have no problems at this end, it might just be computer problems or some settings in the AV or malware programs installed on the users PC or notebook..

On the website (using a mobile) when I enter an address or coordinates in the location box nothing happens, changing satellite or installation type doesn't do anything either.

How can this problem be fixed?

 

[Terryl]

It works fine on my PC and laptop, it must be a problem with the mobile app

Can a member advise if there is an alternative.

For instance:
SatLex Digital :: Techniek :: Calculators :: AZ/EL calculator and then choose longitude due north/south for the declination offset angle.

or Satellite Look Angle Calculator But this gives so many angles, that it is difficult to find the needed ones.


(Or ask members here, to calculate for you....)

The problem is still there this morning.Could someone contact DP Technologies Ltd in England who holds the copyright and ascertain how this matter can be resolved.
That will be appreciated.

I'm using an Android tablet and Dish pointer is showing the same problem. It displays my location but no direction for the satellite.

I cannot click on the "Disclaimer | Privacy Notice" buttons at the bottom of the screen (though the rest of the website functionality is still OK, with me).
And don't live anywhere nearby.

The present owner also never repaired the missing question mark link here: " LNB Skew [?]: "
So I don't know if someone is really taking care....
