Antenna and amplifier advice for Pooler
The farthest main network tower for Pooler is WTOC-TV (CBS), 7.4 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.
WSAV-TV is only 4.9 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.
