Winegard – TV Signal Finder 02.02

Winegard® offers a practical solution for those seeking connectivity while at home, tailgating, trucking, or RVing with their smart TV Signal Finder app with augmented reality. This app allows users to easily locate available TV satellites and free over-the-air HDTV towers for their specific geographic location. By using the Winegard TV Signal Finder app, users can quickly determine the optimal position for their antenna to receive the strongest signals. The app utilizes the user's current location to search for available signals for their favorite channels, while also providing an augmented reality view to help identify and avoid any obstructions.

The dual-mode functionality of the app provides two distinct features: Antenna Pointer mode and Satellite Pointer mode. In Antenna Pointer mode, users can utilize the top-down map view to identify nearby HDTV TV towers in relation to their address or GPS location. By switching to the augmented reality view, users can eliminate obstacles such as trees, hills, and buildings by pointing their phone towards the horizon and rotating it 360 degrees to locate their desired TV tower. The number displayed above each tower indicates the number of available channels, and tapping on a tower icon reveals full channel details.

In Satellite Pointer mode, users can use the augmented reality view to locate DISH, DIRECTV, BellTV, or Shaw Direct satellites that are compatible with their mobile antenna. By pointing their phone towards the southern sky, users can easily identify their target satellites and avoid signal obstructions. The app provides azimuth and elevation pointing look angles for convenient setup and manual antenna alignment.

Key Features:

• Augmented reality technology enhances user experience
• Compatible with both auto-point and manual-point antennas
• Supports DISH, DIRECTV, BellTV, and Shaw Direct antennas
• Provides satellite azimuth and elevation pointing look angles
• Up-to-date FCC OTA TV tower information, including channels, call signs, and networks

This app requires access to your smartphone's camera (for augmented reality view), sensors, GPS, and compass. Compass accuracy may vary based on calibration and the presence of large objects that could interfere with the magnetic field.
