Antenna and amplifier advice for Edgewater
The farthest main network tower for Edgewater is KBDI-TV (PBS), 24 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.
KCNC-TV is only 9.1 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.
