Terms of use

What the site is

TV Signal Check gives free information about over-the-air TV in the US: which stations may reach an area, which way to point an antenna, and what kind of antenna may work. It is general information, not professional installation or engineering advice.

Predictions are estimates

• Reception levels, directions and antenna suggestions are computer predictions for a typical home in a ZIP code, based on public data and terrain models. Your exact spot, buildings, trees, weather, your equipment and changes by stations can all give a different result.
• Station and network details come from public records and can be out of date. Networks switch stations, and stations change channels.
• A channel scan on your TV is the final word. Please check before you buy, install or climb anything.

Safety

Installing antennas on roofs and masts can be dangerous. Stay well away from power lines, follow the antenna maker's instructions and local rules, ground outdoor antennas as required, and use a qualified installer if in doubt.
