DVBFinder

DVBFinder is a tool which will help you to set up the satellite dish. It cooperates with a DVBFinder dongle or a satellite receiver with DVBFinder dongle function. It will show you the precise azimuth, the signal strength and quality in real time, which can be used to install the dish.

How to use:

First you should connect the DVBFinder dongle to LNB, or scan the QRcode on receiver which support DVBFinder dongle function.

Then on the phone:
1. Turn on bluetooth and GPS on the phone
2. Open the APP, wait untill the connnect icon changes to ![image](https://github.com/g-xu/DVBFinder/blob/master/pic/bluetooth.png)
3. select sat/tp, set up the Antenna LNB/22K/Diseqc
4. Follow the red arrow line to move satellite dish after GPS is available, and make the signal strength and quality to best state.
5. The signal strength will turn to Green once locked
6. Tap the search icon to search current tp and check the programs

Tried to calibrate the dish in order to fine tune the signal according to what the mobile app. was indicating but couldn't... After hiring a technician it turned out to be somewhere within the range that was checked using the app but actually didn't show it. I re tried it after the calibration but still didn't work...

Hi, the app is good because it gets the work done. But plz update it to show signal & quality percentage like satellite receivers show, it's very confusing when setting up dish antenna on the app because of difference in signal percentage other than that it is good.

The compass is NOT working on phones with Android 8+ because the Android app uses the depricated Sensor.TYPE_ORIENTATION. It should use 1 of 3 : 1- Sensor.TYPE_ROTATION_VECTOR 2- Sensor.TYPE_MAGNETIC_FIELD + Sensor.TYPE_MAGNETIC_FIELD 3- Sensor.TYPE_ORIENTATION (not present on newer phones). Please check my app Satellite Director; It lets the user select which sensor should be used as compass if the sensor is present or selects one automatically. Do you need some code on how to do that ?

Excellent app but not suitable for finding out of coverage satellites.Has delay in showing signal since it's connected to Bluetooth.I still give you 5 stars 🌟 because I can add and delete sat and tp😉.Pls change the connection mode with settopbox from bluetooth to wifi. Wifi communicates faster and has long range signal.

good app,quickly access the satellite but need to fix some bugs like Bluetooth disconnection always and signal level and quality level should be increased like normal receivers and also after getting the signal it should be generating more TPs by itself.Thanks

This app is not working in my phone(Vivo V20 Android 12). Whenever I try to open this app, a notification arrives,"DVB Finder is experiencing crashes".And DVB Player isn't working in my phone too.

Good app, shows signals and also channel list from current transponder. And I don't see any delays to showing signal. So can really use this app OK!

TAR. M. Jul 4, 2020     

is it possible to connect it with wifi instead of bluetooth. I mean if device is attached with home network and we want to set dish antena with same wifi network so that device shows signal in realtime.

Rud. G. Apr 23, 2022     

Hellooo Developers!!!! It's not working on my phone after update to Android 12??? Are you working on it or only delete is option?

Please add the Blind scan function for DVBFinder. This function is very useful for us, it's important, indispensable. We are DEMAND for this function.

Bought hellobox smart s2 and this update is simply a pathetic. Unable to show signal even if you had manually already set the dish to perfect signal. Even then it don't show signal.

Ash. H. Nov 26, 2020     

Amazing app I like very much. But it would be better if you can add DB and channel name. And it should be add DiSEqC1.1 as there is only diSEqC 1.0 only
