DishHelper is a Satellite/Free-to-Air pointing and information program written in Java and SWT.
Note: My current side-project is a new version of this application including a map and a less embarrassing GUI.
Features
- Native UI
- Loads up-to-date data in Dreambox satellites.xml format
- Earth station location with coordinates and United States ZIP code lookup
- Multi-LNB dish calculations
- Provides azimuth, elevation, and LNB skew
- Suggests interesting transponders for every orbital location
Requirements
- Java (Written in 1.6. Might work on lower.)
- SWT (Provided in Unix/Mac/Windows bundles)
- A data file (provided)
