Aiming your TV antenna is easy and free!

This application helps you discover digital TV towers (DTV) near your location and it helps you find the bearing from your location so that you can point you antenna to catch those stations. It works based on 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, Uruguay and Paraguay.

For users in the US, it can also display the FCC calculated broadcast area over the map!

This app is especially useful for campers and travelers using camper vans, RVs, or motorhomes, ensuring you get the best TV reception wherever you are.

Be aware that compasses in phones are not very good and they are often wrong or get stuck. That cannot be corrected from a software application such as this one. Sometimes it's useful to “calibrate” the devices's compass by performing movements with the phone describing an "8".

For now this helper is just for United States, Australia, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, Argentina Brazil, Colombia and Uruguay.
