About this app

Aiming your TV antenna is easy and free!

This application helps you discover nearby TV transmitters and shows the direction (bearing) you should point your antenna to receive those stations.

The app uses a database of over-the-air (OTA) TV transmitters in:

United States, Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, France, Japan, Austria, Argentina, Brazil, Portugal, Colombia, Uruguay and Paraguay.

For users in the United States, the app can also display FCC-calculated broadcast coverage areas on the map.

This app is especially useful for campers and travelers using RVs, camper vans or motorhomes, helping you find the best TV reception wherever you go.

Compass accuracy

Phone compasses are not always accurate and may sometimes provide incorrect readings. This cannot be corrected by software.

If necessary, you can try recalibrating the device’s compass by moving the phone in a figure-eight motion.

Data Sources

Broadcast transmitter information comes from public databases including:

• FCC CDBS database (United States)
• Anatel (Brazil)
• TDA – Televisión Digital Abierta (Argentina)
• Industry Canada
• Freeview UK (ukfree.tv)
• data.gov.au – Licensed Broadcasting Transmitter Data (Australia)
• Saorview (Ireland)

Ratings and reviews

Extremely useful. If you don't know where your local TV transmission towers are, you will waste time orienting your antenna to get a nice signal. The finder is GREAT! I recommend an OUTSIDE antenna of some kind, set up as high as possible & as clear of obstruction as possible. With HDTV, of course, gone are the days of picking up an out of town "snowy" analog picture, passably watchable. Now it's just glitch after glitch, all or nothing. The finder can help avoid that.

I like this app. It finds tv broadcasting antennae accurately and I like the way the arrow points to show you where the antennae is for each channel. We go "camping" once a month for about a week and this app really comes in handy if we want to watch tv in our camper. Of course, the signal must be strong enough so I wish the app showed signal strength. I paid (currently $3.99) for the app because I want to use it in multiple locations and apparently you only get one location without charge.

I think I installed every app out there to help me align my antenna, even the "name brand" apps like the one from antennas direct, this is by far the best one. Simply put it in front of you antenna and turn then until the arrows are all pointing in the right direction (this will make more sense when you use it). As with all the apps, make sure your compass is calibrated.

What's new

• Antenna details on the map can now be closed by swiping the panel down.
• The map details panel now also opens for antennas without channels.
• Improved back gesture support, map startup, and overall stability.
