SkyStar 2 and Aligning Dish

BillyRay

Just installed a SkyStar 2 Card and I'm trying to align the dish

I positioned the dish in the general direction of the satellite that I'm trying to receive - Atlantic Bird 3- and the sat finder meter is giving a strong singnal.

Is there any software out there to tell me which satellite I'm picking up?

Any software recommendations / links in helping to set this up appreciated.

I have DvDViewer and Server4PC which came with the card installed.

thanks
BillyRay

and if you have wireless networking, it,s even better, set the main pc with skystar, go out the back with laptop and remote desktop software, watch the satmeter remotely and fiddle with the dish, lnb
