HOW IT WORKS
The azimuth (compass bearing), elevation (vertical tilt) and LNB skew vary depending on where you are. Dish Aligner calculates all three from first principles using your exact GPS coordinates, so you always get the right angles for your location — whether you're in London, Edinburgh, or mainland Europe.

PRIVACY
Dish Aligner collects no personal data. Location is used only on-device to calculate pointing angles — nothing is sent to any server.
