FlySat Alternative: Where to Find Satellite Frequencies Now
For 23 years — from March 2003 to March 2026 — FlySat was one of the best-known satellite frequency charts on the internet: a daily reference for FTA enthusiasts, dish installers and DX-ers. In January 2026 its founder announced the site was closing, and the charts received their final update in March 2026. If FlySat was part of your routine, this page is for you.
DishTuner maintains the same kind of satellite-by-satellite frequency charts — and adds the one thing frequency sites never had: a built-in dish alignment calculator that turns any satellite page into pointing angles for your exact location.

Pick Up Where You Left Off
- 1. Find your satellite — browse the satellite directory and open its chart: transponder frequencies, polarisation, symbol rates, encryption and beams, in a layout FlySat users will recognise.
- 2. Check a channel — search the channel directory for tuning parameters (frequency, SR/FEC, SID, video/audio PIDs, FTA status).
- 3. Point your dish — open the alignment calculator, set your location, and get exact angles — then fine-tune with the free Android app's live compass.
