Antenna and amplifier advice for Hialeah
The farthest main network tower for Hialeah is WLRN-TV (PBS), 9.9 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.
WFLX (Fox), 50 miles north, is the exception: the nearest listed affiliate of its network is far enough away to need an outdoor antenna. Some local stations in our data carry no network tag, so check the other stations table below before buying a bigger antenna just for that one.
WURH-LD is only 8.1 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.

- Place the antenna high on a window or wall that faces the towers. Upstairs is better than downstairs.
- Point it toward 31° NNE, the direction of WLRN-TV (PBS), 9.9 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
- Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).

- Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
