HOW DOES IT WORK?

Using your current location, the device's magnetometer and the site's power output, Antenna Mate quickly estimates the field strength for all sites near your current location and automatically plots a bearing to the best site**.

Under normal circumstances you should get an initial result within seconds. The longer you leave Antenna Mate open, the more accurate it will become. For best results use Antenna Mate outside in an open space and away from objects which cause interference.

Antenna Mate doesn't need an internet connection, that's one of the reasons why it's so fast.

DETAILED TRANSMITTER DATA

Complete listing of all digital and analogue transmitters available at each broadcasting site. Data includes callsign/operator frequency (MHz), channel, polarisation, and maximum power output (kW).

ALL SITES BY STRENGTH OR DISTANCE

Prefer to point the antenna to another broadcasting site? No worries! Antenna Mate quickly finds all sites near your current location. Sites can be listed from strongest to weakest or closest to furtherest away. Pick any site from the list and Antenna Mate will instantly plot a new bearing to the selected site.

Using an amplifier or high gain antenna? You can increase the find radius up to 200 km from your current location.

SUPPORT AND FEEDBACK

We would love to hear your feedback, good or constructive. Send an e-mail to [email protected] or tweet @antennamate. Follow us on Twitter to get notified when transmitter data is updated.

* Time taken to find best broadcasting site and directional accuracy will vary based on device and external environmental factors.

** Best broadcasting site is measured by estimating maximum theoretical field strength in free space (No obstructions or reflections). Actual field strength will be lower. Closest broadcasting site is measured by estimating distance using line of sight. Distance is only an approximation.

*** Based on Australian Communications and Media Authority data.

**** Based on Ofcom data.

I opened the app and it said no known broadcast in this area. Funny thing I get tv reception. Buy the less expensive one. It found my tv antenna direction.

Silly me downloading app living in USA. Should have read the description of service locations more closely


App only supported in U.K. and Australia

The app description looks great but it was after buying it for $3.99 I realized that it's only supported in the U.K. and Australia.


Worthless!

It is a terrible ap! It gives you nothing you can use. "Useless"would be the word to describe it!
