The primary function of DTV.gov maps is to predict signal strength and coverage areas. Unlike analog signals, which degraded gradually with static and snow as the signal weakened, digital signals operate on a "cliff effect." A viewer either receives a perfect, high-definition picture or they receive nothing at all. This binary nature makes antenna placement critical. The DTV.gov maps allow users to input their address and view a color-coded projection of which channels should be receivable at their specific location. By visualizing the terrain and distance from local broadcast towers, these maps remove the guesswork from antenna installation, saving consumers the frustration of purchasing equipment that is ill-suited for their geography.
