Free Satellite Dish Alignment Calculator
DishTuner is a satellite dish azimuth, elevation and LNB skew angle calculator. It calculates the precise azimuth (compass direction), elevation (tilt angle), and LNB skew needed to point a satellite dish at any geostationary satellite from your location. Enter your coordinates or city above — results update instantly for all 281+ satellites in the database.
How to Use the Dish Alignment Calculator
- 1 Set your location — click "Use My Location" for GPS auto-detect, or search for your city.
- 2 Select your satellite — choose from 281+ satellites. Only those above your horizon are shown.
- 3 Read the angles — note the azimuth, elevation, and LNB skew values calculated for your position.
- 4 Point and fine-tune — adjust your dish to match the angles, then use a signal meter or app to maximise signal strength.

What Do Azimuth, Elevation & LNB Skew Mean?
- Azimuth
- The horizontal compass bearing your dish should face, measured in degrees from true north (0°–360°). In the northern hemisphere this is usually a southward direction.
- Elevation
- The vertical tilt angle of the dish above the horizon (0°–90°). Higher latitudes result in lower elevation angles. A minimum of ~5–10° is needed for a usable signal.
- LNB Skew Angle Calculator
- The rotation of the LNB (Low Noise Block) to match the satellite's signal polarisation. Incorrect skew causes weak signal or cross-polarisation interference between transponders.
