Using TM tv antenna
Ok, I admit to occasionally watching tv in the TM. Something I do very rarely at home, but sometimes married people do what needs to be done, you know what I mean? Anyway, cable is not always available in the cheap sites, so TM has a good antenna and I try to use it, BUT finding any available stations can be a pain.
I have found a method which takes some advance prep unless you take your computer along with you (which I do) but which can tell you in advance what stations and networks are available.
When I went to Hilton Head, SC, I stayed at Hardeeville RV, which is located in the middle of nowhere about half way between Hilton Head Island and Savannah, GA. It does have cable, but I will use this location as an example
.
Here is a link to the end result (then at the page shown,
choose “Only Analog” for the stations that the antenna will get):

The method takes a few minutes:
1 Find the address of your selected campsite.
2 Go to this link to get map coordinate and don’t forget to put “USA” in address:

3. Go to this link and choose to input “coordinates”. Then use 10 feet as Antenna height.

4. Take along a compass, mine is magnetic, so I set the TM antenna to the magnetic direction indicated in the list for the channel desired.
It might seem like a lot of work, but it actually save time in the long run if you really want to watch a particular program or game on a strong signal.
