The Problem

Cord-cutters and home users struggle to choose the right over-the-air TV antenna for their specific situation. Variables like building floor, attic vs. outdoor mounting, rural vs. urban signal strength, and which channels they want make the decision overwhelming. Users frequently end up with antennas that can't pick up their desired channels and have no clear way to diagnose whether the issue is antenna type, placement, or signal limitations.

Potential Solution

A tool that ingests a user's location data (or integrates with services like RabbitEars), building characteristics (basement, attic, ground floor, multi-story), and desired channels to recommend specific antenna models, optimal placement within the home, and expected reception quality. The app could include an AR-based placement optimizer using a phone's camera and compass to find the best indoor mounting spot and orientation for maximum signal strength.

Why Now?

Cord-cutting continues to accelerate as streaming prices rise, pushing more consumers toward free OTA broadcasts for live sports and local news. The growing complexity of antenna hardware options and the shift toward indoor/attic installations in HOA-restricted neighborhoods create demand for smarter selection tools.
