About TV Signal Check

What we do

For every one of the 39,405 US ZIP codes we predict which stations reach it, how strongly, from which direction and with which kind of antenna. We check our predictions against the FCC's own coverage software and publish the result on how it works.

Independent and brand-neutral

We are not affiliated with any TV network, station or antenna maker. We recommend a type of antenna and explain why; any brand of the right type will do. If we ever earn money from links to shops, we will say so on the page where the link appears, and it will not change what we recommend.

Found a wrong channel?

Our data comes from FCC filings and public sources, and networks switch stations a few times a year. If your TV's channel scan shows something different from our answer, we want to know: it is the best way to make the predictions better.

Report a wrong channel (include your ZIP code and what your channel scan shows), or write to [email protected].
