HOW DOES IT WORK?
Using your current location, your device's compass, and the target site's effective radiated power, Antenna Mate instantly estimates the signal strength of all nearby sites and automatically plots a bearing to the best one**.
Under normal circumstances you should get an initial result within seconds. The longer you leave Antenna Mate open, the more accurate it will become. For best results use Antenna Mate outside in an open space and away from objects which cause interference.
Antenna Mate doesn't need an internet connection, that's one of the reasons why it's so fast.
DETAILED TRANSMITTER INFO
Complete listings of all digital terrestrial transmitters are available at each site. Listings include the callsign, frequency (MHz), channel, polarisation, and effective radiated power (kW).
ALL SITES BY STRENGTH OR DISTANCE
Prefer to align your TV antenna with another broadcasting site? No worries! Sites can be listed from strongest to weakest, or closest to furthest away. Pick any site from the list and Antenna Mate instantly plots a new bearing to the targeted site.
Using an amplifier or high gain antenna? You can increase the search radius up to 200 km (120 mi) from your current location.
LIGHT AND DARK DISPLAY SWITCHING
When your device is in direct sunlight Antenna Mate will automatically switch to a light display making the arrow easy to see. Perfect for performing an alignment during the middle of the day.
USE IT UPSIDE DOWN, OR THE RIGHT WAY UP
Antenna Mate is smart enough to know when your device is being held upside down, or the right way up. Either way, it will always point to the targeted site.
SUPPORT AND FEEDBACK
We would love to hear your feedback or help you troubleshoot. Send an e-mail to support@antennamate.com.
* Time taken to find best broadcasting site and directional accuracy will vary based on device and external environmental factors.
** Best broadcasting site is measured by estimating maximum theoretical field strength in free space (No obstructions or reflections). Actual field strength will be lower. Closest broadcasting site is measured by estimating distance using line of sight. Distance is only an approximation.
*** Based on Australian Communications and Media Authority data.
**** Based on Radio Spectrum Management and OpenStreetMap data.
***** Based on Ofcom data.

Ratings and Reviews
Not always right
An absolute must for caravans and RVs, but there have been times, over our 4 years on the road when the direction given was off and required some fine tuning but 8 out of 10 times it is spot on. It is the first app I suggest to anyone who is having trouble with their tv reception.
Top marks
I can’t thank you folks enough for making such an invaluable tool.
While my meter gives me numbers I need up on the roof during the install, it’s this App that I put into the customers hand so they can see themselves that their antenna is facing the wrong direction. Customer satisfaction is 75% of the job, and you folks have made it so much easier. I wish I had something like this 20 years ago.
TV anywhere you go....
I've always found this app to be helpful for getting good reception at home or while traveling around in the motorhome. It makes it so easy to direct the antenna in the direction of the strongest signal when setting up each time at a new camp site.
