DESCRIPTION
Use UptoPlay to play online the game Digital TV Antennas.
Aiming your TV antenna it's easy and free!
This application helps you discover digital TV towers (DTV) close to you 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.
In the US it can also display the FCC calculated broadcast area over the map!
Specially useful when you camping in your camper van, rv, motorhome, so you can 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 stucked. 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.

`Extremely useful. If you don't know where your local TV transmission towers are, you will waste time orienting your antenna to get a nice signal. The finder is GREAT! I recommend an OUTSIDE antenna of some kind, set up as high as possible & as clear of obstruction as possible. With HDTV, of course, gone are the days of picking up an out of town "snowy" analog picture, passably watchable. Now it's just glitch after glitch, all or nothing. The finder can help avoid that.`,Excellent app for those who want to kick the cable. I live in a remote area and have two antenns in my attic on rotors. This app helps me to maximize my efficiency. I'm tuning in 54 stations and have more alternatives if I re-aim the antennas. But current setup gives most stations with current settings. Great app, would highly recommend!!!
This app saved the day for me. Was trying to watch one of the biggest college football games of the season when cable went out. I connected my HD antenna and kept pointing it to where I thought was the logical direction to get the station but it wouldn't work. I found this app and it indicated an alternative direction which was totally accurate. I'm a fan.
I never leave reviews, but was inspired to do so for this app since it was just so simple to use and perfectly designed. You just tell the app where you are and it shows you which way to point your antenna to reach the nearby towers using a simple arrow. When you're hanging on to your chimney 30 feet off the ground trying to point an antenna, ease of use is very much appreciated. Excellent app!!!
best antenna app I've seen. still a few hiccups, but more likely due to my ancient phone. (Samsung galaxy 3). Keep up the good work! Still love your app, but the link provided to calibrate my compass only leads to general information about Google locations. The word Compass does not appear anywhere on that page. I upgraded it to the pro. Am I missing features? Only the ads are turned off. Tnx for listening ;-) !"
