Antenna and amplifier advice for Belvedere
The farthest main network tower for Belvedere is KCBS-TV (CBS), 14 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.
KOCE-TV is only 14 miles away with a strong signal. Signals that strong can overload an amplifier, so start without one and add it only if distant channels are missing. Read when an amplifier helps.
