New (to me) Dish Pointer App

[drago_master]

What's with the Dish Pointer app at DishPointer - Align your satellite dish on my PC using Firefox.

It is clearly not the same format as when I used it in April to get the altitude, skew and azimuth for our 1000.2 antenna.

When I enter the required numbers – 32.956616n, 95.99.5933 and click Multi-LNB Setups, I do not get any output in the satellite data that looks useful.

I get 250.7mag, 135.8skew, and -31.8elevation with a red line pointing ENE. I finally figured to click the box with all the sats in it and scroll to the bottom 1000+ (110w, 118.7w, 119w, 129w). Mine is a 1000.2 w/3antenna on the LNB.

Then I get 215.8mag, 121.1skew & 44.4elevation which looks what I might guess it should be. Does that seem correct?

Can someone help me out?

Huh... You're not wrong. I put in my city and the only sats that show up to choose from are Asian.
North here is straight up on the map

The dishpointer.com domain isn't based in the USA now, it appears to be owned by some entity in Germany.

They're not volunteering much info.
