Our laptop does the same thing for watching digital TV on it. However this scanning does take some time, so if no channels come up from a scan with our RV's rotating roof antenna pointed in a particular direction we have to go through the wait again for another scan after we rotate the antenna slightly. We have to repeat this routine over and over until we hit an antenna direction that produces some digital channels.
All this can take time. It seems like a hand-held instrument to indicate signal strength as you quickly move it around by hand would be far faster than relying on TV channel scanning to locate the general direction for digital TV broadcast stations.
