Here is the one I use. Before a trip I print out a page for each location where I will be stopping.
Just put in zip code.

That site is good as well, it just takes 3 clicks instead of one.

Another good, related bit of info from Winegard:
Quote:
Not all channels are broadcasting in digital. In
many markets, some smaller broadcasters are still using the
old analog technology.
Due to this, it will often be useful to visit the following sites:
AntennaWeb - Home or TV Fool.
Before traveling, enter the zip code of the location where the
SensarPro will be used into one of the websites above. This
will help point the antenna and determine which channels are
available in the area.

Is there no ipad, iPhone, android.... App to show you where to point? Most of our smart gizmos have gps/location services in them. A well designed app could tell you from where you are standing, where to point it.

If you have internet service, just go to Google and type in "tv antenna locations" or something of the sort. A page will offer FCC transmit locations for the area you are in. It may ask for your zip code. Works for me.

How to position antenna
I use TV Fool. It gives you a map of where to point your antenna for best reception of available channels.
Here's another resource I found helpful for how to position your antenna based on what the TV Fool report tells you.
Has anyone tried using an indoor antenna for TV in their RV? what have your experiences been?
