You can find free over the air channels in your area by using the FCC tool in the window below.

Once you enter your address or zip code and click on Go! the tool will display the digital tv channels at your location.

If you do not have any stations around you then you would not be able to pick up any stations no matter which antenna you get because of the geography around you or the lack of towers in your area. If you do have a list of stations displayed, you can click on the station to see where the broadcast tower is located relative to your location. You can also click on the image of the tower to see the tower distance from you. Once you have a good idea where the towers are located and what channels you can receive, you can begin to select the right antenna for you.

Subchannels

After the digital conversion in 2010, most of the stations have substations such as 4.1 or 4.2 for additional programming such as weather.

You can use the following TV Guide tool to see all of the subchannels available in your area.

• Start by entering your zipcode
• Click [Next] and select ANTENNA as your service type
• Now select the broadcast service provider
• You will also need to select None of the Above for premium channels since you will not be able to subscribe to them.
