HOW IT WORKS
Point your dish at Astra 2 at 28.2°E — the orbital position that carries BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 in the UK. The azimuth (compass bearing), elevation (vertical tilt) and LNB skew vary depending on where you are in the UK. Dish Aligner calculates all three from first principles using your exact GPS coordinates, so you always get the right angles for your location.
PRIVACY
Dish Aligner collects no personal data. Location is used only on-device to calculate pointing angles — nothing is sent to any server.
Built for iPhone. iOS 17 or later required.
