Which way to point your antenna in Dublin
Point your antenna WNW, at about 291°. The main network towers for Dublin sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Four network stations, WPGA-TV, WGXA, WMAZ-TV and WMGT-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 41 miles west of Dublin (291° WNW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.
Of the 4 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Dublin at fair strength or better, all arrive from the west, so this is an easy place to aim.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Dublin, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Dublin
The farthest main network tower for Dublin is WMGT-TV (NBC), 41 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.
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.
