Digital TV signal finder for antennas

Ratings and reviews

Worked in TV engineering for 35 years. This app has what you need to basically aim a directional or dipole antenna at the transmission towers. Out of the few apps on Google Play, this is the only one I found that accurately shows your position in relation to the transmission towers (set permissions!). Other apps do not properly read the GPS compass data from your phone. Just set the phone on top of the antenna, aim. Simple as that. Watch the beam go from red to green. Couldn't be more simple.

Limited, but all right for what it is. It works once you give it location permissions. The interface looks outdated and it would be nice to have a list of stations and their compass direction versus the map and pointing your phone toward things. Overall, the FCC antenna location website is more of what I'm looking for, so I'll just use that and uninstall this app. Also, the Terk Signal Finder app is nearly identical to the RCA one, so take your pick.

installed it exactly as instructions said and boom!! super easy! although it does say at the very end, "important...must perform a channel scan to receive any channels..." nope I did not and was up and running in under 15 min. I'm not saying don't do channel scan I'm saying mine worked perfectly fine without having done a scan! great purchase worth the price!!!
