Please note: This app does not allow you to watch TV on your phone. Instead, it uses your location to find nearby over-the-air Digitial TV (DTV) and HDTV signals in the *United States* and assists you choosing an antenna and pointing it in the correct direction. Information provided by the app includes: TV channel signal strengths, compass bearings to signals (direction), distance to signal towers, TV channel numbers, RF channel numbers, elevation, and frequency bands (UHV, Hi-V, Lo-V).
User location is determined automatically via GPS or the network. Alternatively, a location can be manually entered. DTV/HDTV station data is downloaded from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The app displays nearby TV signal information in three ways:
1) A scrollable list displaying all nearby TV signals ordered from strongest to weakest.
2) A compass that displays the stations at their correct heading from the current location.
3) A map displaying the current location and the location of all nearby TV signal towers.
The app can also be used to recommend antennas for your location.

Anyone serious about OTA HDTV (stop paying for cable!) should get this app. Sorry I don't have much to add to the other glowing reviews, just wanted to give 5 stars because this app deserves it.

We travel a lot with our RV, and get frustrated with finding the local over the air channel numbers and names (like CBS is found on channel 8) and antenna directions. When you have to search every day or two, it gets tedious. You have solved this. THAN

Installed on my Samsung Galaxy II. Nothing but homescreen works. No data is displayed.

This app is perfect for those who travel with a motorhome or RV. You can set up and point your antenna the right way the first time instead of spinning in circles until you get it right. A great app and it's free!
