For more information on antennas, see the Antenna Guide. Signal strength calculations assume an outdoor antenna 30 feet above ground level. Actual reception quality may vary significantly for viewers using an indoor antenna.

These predictions are based on a terrain-sensitive propagation model resembling but not identical to the propagation model used when calculating service and interference contours for licensed broadcast television stations. Actual signal strength may vary based on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, building construction, neighboring buildings and trees, weather, and specific reception hardware. Your signal strength may be significantly lower in extremely hilly areas. Click on a callsign for details about that station's Incentive Auction repacking plans.

Our mapping tool will allow you to view the TV transmitters in your area. Using this tool, you will see the radius patterns showing the distance of coverage between your location and the broadcast towers. The towers are shown by black markers on the map, and you can click on each tower to see the affiliate, band, latitude, longitude, and heading for each transmitter. Certain variables unrelated to the antennas performance can affect reception, such as terrain, tall buildings, and trees. Call our Connection Crew or chat with us online if you need assistance with choosing the best TV antenna for your location.

In effect since October of 1996, FCC regulations establish that you have a right to install a video antenna on your property, regardless of whether the property is owned or rented, and it specifically prohibits restrictions from an HOA, landlord or property manager that would: (1) unreasonably delay or prevent installation, maintenance or use; (2) unreasonably increase the cost of installation, maintenance or use; or (3) preclude reception of an acceptable quality signal.

Discover ways you can improve your reception if you're stuck using an indoor TV antenna. Optimal TV reception is achieved outside but many of you have no choice but to use an indoor TV antenna due to living in an apartment complex or lack of resources to setup an outdoor antenna.

With the launch of next-generation 5G wireless networks becoming a reality, more and more cell towers are being built every day. No matter which smartphone you prefer or which carrier you subscribe to, location matters when it comes to cell reception.



WeatherNation TV is working with DirecTV to improve its service, and on Monday it enabled a "local button" on subscribers' remote controls that displays a quick snapshot of the local weather on the TV. A graphic showing weather specific to the ZIP code area will pop up every 10 minutes, starting within a week. And in March, WeatherNation TV will launch a six-screens-in-one coverage platform for weather events that are potentially life-threatening. Viewers will be able to zoom in on the main WeatherNation feed, local broadcast stations in affected areas, live remotes from meteorologists in the field, radar maps, advisories or live coverage from national networks like CNN and Fox.

RW: Are there visuals you can suggest to illustrate this topic?
Warner: I prepared a couple of maps (Figs. 1 and 2) showing a translator application in a problem setting. Contours show that the translator 40 dBu interference contour is well clear of the full-power station 60 dBu service contour, but a Longley-Rice propagation showing reveals that there is 60 dBu signal around and beyond the translator site. The second map shows signal ratios. The area where interference is predicted, that is, the signals are within 20 dB of each other, is very large. The area where the translator would have a predicted clean signal is small and spotty. The allocation meets FCC requirements, but would cause significant interference to the full-power station, while having a very small clean service area. (Some car radios can survive ratios lower than 20 dB, but that does not get around the full-power station service area near the translator site. The full-power station has reported listening in the ZIP code where the translator is proposed.)
