Antenna and amplifier advice for Meridian Hills

The farthest main network tower for Meridian Hills is WTHR (NBC), 3.0 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

WXIN is only 2.4 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.
