Frequently Asked Questions

Are over-the-air antenna TV channels really 100% free?

Yes. Local broadcast stations (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, PBS, CW, and dozens of subchannels like MeTV, Grit, Ion, and Bounce) broadcast over the public airwaves for free in uncompressed HD. There is zero monthly fee or subscription.

Why does my TV show Channel 5.1 when the table says RF Channel 24?

TV stations keep their historic channel number (the Virtual Channel, like 5.1) for your TV screen guide, while transmitting on a different physical radio frequency (the RF Channel). Your TV automatically maps them when you run a channel scan, but your antenna hardware must match the RF Channel band (UHF vs. VHF).

Do I need a special antenna for HD or NEXTGEN TV (ATSC 3.0)?

No. There is no such thing as an 'HD-only' or 'ATSC 3.0-only' antenna. Any quality indoor, attic, or outdoor antenna receives standard 1080i/720p HD and 4K NEXTGEN TV signals—what matters is your distance to the towers and whether your stations use VHF or UHF.

How accurate are these ZIP code channel predictions?

Station power, tower coordinates, and 360-degree coverage contours come directly from the FCC. Signal badges reflect where your ZIP code center sits inside each station's official FCC service contour. Local hills, trees, and building materials aren't modeled.
