Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Unionville at fair strength or better, 56% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across three other directions.

All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Unionville, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Unionville

The farthest main network tower for Unionville is WFXL (Fox), 22 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WTXL-TV (ABC), 60 miles southwest, 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.

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.

  1. Place the antenna high on a window or wall that faces the towers. Upstairs is better than downstairs.
  2. Point it toward 251° WSW, the direction of WFXL (Fox), 22 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
  3. Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
  4. Expect around 13 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
  5. Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
