Perfect TV antenna app

I downloaded this app today and while on the roof I open the app and it pointed me do the exact direction for optimal TV reception. I decided to cut the cord with the expensive cable provider. I could not ask her anything better. This app is very simple and it works very well.

Good little app!

After I kicked DirecTV to the curb, I was delighted to find this app to give me a tv guide for my antenna channels. It works wonderfully. The only disappointment I have with it is that it doesn’t give me listings for 2 and 4, no matter what I do to the settings. It says I get them, but it doesn’t give me the listings.

All in all, though, its great to have a resource like this to help me get the right antenna directions and to be my pal to help me cope with unplugging the satellite and cable.

Too restrictive but works somewhat.

Frequently this app fails to show channels that my tv picks up. This is because the earth is not flat. The GPS unit in the iPhone will give elevation or it could be manually entered. For instance I am on a tall hill. So no guide on channels that it thinks are too far away but I see them clearly and reliably. It also frequently shows channels that we should pick up but can't. Again, because other hills are in the way. This is ok, I understand that since we are frequently in hilly terrain that signals don't always come thru. The writers of this app don't understand that but should.

Updating the location frequently does not update other parts of the app. So even though your camper moved three states the app give you the TV guide from the old location until it mysteriously updates on its own time....

Awesome App!

I’m so grateful that this exists! I’m on the tightest of budgets and can’t afford a tv subscription, internet, or any streaming services. A cheap digital tv, a cheap antenna, and this app makes the perfect combo. It helps you by showing the best positions for the antenna and how good of a signal you have for channels. There are variables (nature/buildings in the way, and distance) but I still got really great channels (I live in the country!), and this app lets me know what’s on them! I’m really happy that I can still watch the news and have some regular tv shows to watch. Thank you No Cable for introducing me to an incredibly cheap entertainment option!

Good app, but...

It’s a good app and I appreciate it and all, but why isn’t there a time offset option? It doesn’t properly display mountain time. Everything is an hour behind. Please fix this and give us an option to add a time offset. We should also be able to scroll to see the whole day and night worth of programming and even the next day.

Like it But...

Their tv guide is off by an hour. No instructions on how to correct time.I love using antenna tv. I am not really interested in most many of the channels on cable tv which force us to watch commercials anyway. Sometimes there are more commercial than program. I only wish It had there was a way to pause antenna tv.

Pretty cool app

Does what is advertised, but could use a few features: would like to customize with ‘favorites’ to eliminate home shopping, foreign languages, etc. and make the list more efficient and concise to use.
Also would like to have a total number of channels available that I can compare to what my TVs scan produced. This would help me evaluate my antennas performance, tv tuner sensitivity, scan efficiency, accuracy of direction, etc.
Ability to print out results would be nice as well.

Nice antenna channel guide

This is a nice antenna channel guide. I was looking for something to replace the TV Guide app as it (TV Guide) does not list all of the channels I receive with my antenna. This app does but it also lists those I do not receive. It would be perfect if it allowed you to choose what channels you want listed - hence my four-star rating.

tv listings for antenna people

nice app, very helpful...
Would be nice for a bit longer look-ahead than just a few hours, and it would also be nice to have an option to not display some of the off-air channels and keep only favorites, but hey... nice app... works 👍

Super helpful

I’ve never had cable so I can’t address a comparison between this and cable, but I have SO enjoyed all the extra channels (including a weather channel and all the PBS stations). I highly recommend this. One note: the app recommended that we get the antenna with an amplifier, but we get way better reception with just the antennae and no amplifier. Antenna well worth the money.
