Stop Adding Monthly Fees to Local TV.
Local broadcasts. One antenna. No antenna subscription.
Pay for What You Choose. Tune Into What’s Free.
If your everyday viewing starts with the local headlines, weather or a broadcast show, take a look at what is already on the air around you.
LocalWave connects to a compatible TV tuner to receive available over-the-air stations. There is no monthly antenna subscription, so it can be a useful part of a simpler TV setup. Available channels vary by location; paid cable and streaming services are separate.
Find a Spot. Run the Scan. Settle In.
You do not need a rooftop installation to try indoor reception. Connect the antenna, choose an open position and let your television search for local stations.
Placement matters. A window or a higher spot may work better than a crowded shelf. If the first scan finds few channels, move the antenna and rescan. Your local signal conditions determine what you can receive.
Everyday TV. A Simpler Setup.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which channels will I get?
Which channels will I get?
You can receive the free over-the-air stations that reach your address. The lineup depends on nearby transmitters, terrain, buildings, antenna placement and your TV tuner. No fixed channel count or reception distance is guaranteed. Check local broadcast coverage before ordering.
Does it unlock paid cable or streaming channels?
Does it unlock paid cable or streaming channels?
No. LocalWave receives over-the-air television broadcasts. It does not unlock paid cable channels, streaming subscriptions or premium services. No internet connection is needed for antenna reception, but streaming apps and other TV features may still require internet and their own subscriptions.
Will it work with my television?
Will it work with my television?
Your TV needs a compatible digital over-the-air tuner and an antenna/coaxial input. A smart TV label alone does not confirm tuner compatibility. Older analog TVs and displays without a suitable tuner need a separate compatible digital converter box. It connects through ANT IN, not HDMI.
How do I get the best reception?
How do I get the best reception?
Connect the coaxial lead and follow the included power instructions. Connect the USB-powered inline amplifier to a suitable USB power source. Start near a window or in an open indoor position, then run the TV’s Antenna/Air channel scan. If channels are missing, try another position and rescan. Keep cables secure and the antenna indoors and dry.
