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

The farthest main network tower for Geneva is WTHR (NBC), 44 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.
