Antenna and amplifier advice for Pasadena Hills
The farthest main network tower for Pasadena Hills is WTSP (CBS), 32 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.
An amplifier only helps here if you run a long cable (over about 50 feet) or split the antenna to several TVs. Otherwise better placement does more. See the amplifier guide.
