This app finds nearby antennas using a list of antennas broadcasting digital TV over-the-air (OTA) in the United States, Australia, Canada, United Kingdom, New Zealand, Austria, Argentina, Brazil, Portugal, Colombia and Uruguay.

In the US it can also display the FCC calculated broadcast area over the map and filter out stations that are out of reach.

Specially useful when you are camping in your camper van, rv, motorhome, so you can get the best TV reception wherever you are.

Best information!
Pickengrinnen

This is the most informative app I have found for tv transmitters most of the others only show the main towers not the retransmission towers , i found with this app there wee channels that were available to my location 34 miles away ! None of the other apps had this . They are the only channels that I can get as my location is behind several trees and directly behind a hill. If not for this app ota tv was not an option , I thought i was out of luck when the change to digital tv happened. ??


Finally have tv!!!

I don’t know why I waited so long to look for an app like this. We went from 5 channels to 30+.


Great app for setting up TV antennas!

App made it extremely easy to get my antenna facing the correct way to maximize my TV reception. It literally points to every tower in the area and tells you which station are broadcasting from each one. You can split the difference between two towers. If necessary, you can cheat it towards the weaker signal.


Virtually useless

Map is good, but the directional arrows don’t agree with the map at all. I have two stations almost directly NW and one almost directly SW. This is according to the map and personal knowledge. The arrow points about 355 degrees for the two that are NW and about 190 degrees for the one that is SW.


Not worth it

Arrows r totally oppisite where my local stations r.


Thanks

Thank you for the very useful app. Just for your information, the rf signal data is off the right edge of the screen and not visible. That may be because I have an iPhone se with a small screen.


Missing info

First app to download for finding DTV. Looks promising but missing channel info on right side of screen.


Wow! Accurate!

Hello my name is Ken. I maintain a large digital Television district in Mohave County. So far of all the related apps available, yours is the most accurate of all especially after the TV repack. I hope you continue developing this as Im recommending it to our viewers. I know the dust is still settling at the FCC with all the databases. It would be nice to associate the Network calls with the callsigns and have an Ad-free version sometime down the road. Id be the first to purchase it!


Used to work great. Now it doesn’t work.

Since most all stations in the US have new channel assignments in 2020, the app shows incorrect info.


Great App

This app saved me lots of time and helped me get in many channels clearly, and all for free! Thank you!
