NoCable: OTA Antenna, TV Guide

Does what is advertised, but could use a few features: would like to customize with ‘favorites’ to eliminate home shopping, foreign languages, etc. and make the list more efficient and concise to use. Also would like to have a total number of channels available that I can compare to what my TVs scan produced. This would help me evaluate my antennas performance, tv tuner sensitivity, scan efficiency, accuracy of direction, etc. Ability to print out results would be nice as well.

Frequently this app fails to show channels that my tv picks up. This is because the earth is not flat. The GPS unit in the iPhone will give elevation or it could be manually entered. For instance I am on a tall hill. So no guide on channels that it thinks are too far away but I see them clearly and reliably. It also frequently shows channels that we should pick up but can't. Again, because other hills are in the way. This is ok, I understand that since we are frequently in hilly terrain that signals don't always come thru. The writers of this app don't understand that but should. Updating the location frequently does not update other parts of the app. So even though your camper moved three states the app give you the TV guide from the old location until it mysteriously updates on its own time....

I’m so grateful that this exists! I’m on the tightest of budgets and can’t afford a tv subscription, internet, or any streaming services. A cheap digital tv, a cheap antenna, and this app makes the perfect combo. It helps you by showing the best positions for the antenna and how good of a signal you have for channels. There are variables (nature/buildings in the way, and distance) but I still got really great channels (I live in the country!), and this app lets me know what’s on them! I’m really happy that I can still watch the news and have some regular tv shows to watch. Thank you No Cable for introducing me to an incredibly cheap entertainment option!

When you click antenna and it shows you what you should be getting, even using all three selections of antenna/amplified/outdoor, it doesn’t show nearly all of the 68+ channels that I get it clearly. Even the apps TV Guide doesn’t match What it’s telling you in the antenna section! I don’t know who is supplying the information for the TV Guide, but that is a lot more accurate than wjhat the app itself in antenna mode shows. Whoever is giving the feed for the TV Guide, That’s the only thing that’s useful and they probably have an app themselves or you can find all that in many other apps that are pulling in the same data. All I wanted to know was why one of my strong channels wasn’t working just now and wanted to know in which direction the tower was so I would stop waving it all around the room, and I couldn’t even figure out how to do that.

We travel in our RV which puts us in different locations quite often. We can usually receive many local stations but without a TV guide finding the network channels can sometimes be very time consuming. After we find them there is no way to get the local listings. No Cable has solved that problem. We haven’t been to a location so far that it hasn’t. Highly recommend this app for RV travelers.
