Which way to point your antenna in Greenville
Point your antenna SE, at about 136°. The main network towers for Greenville sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
WVII-TV (ABC) and WLBZ (NBC) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Greenville. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Greenville
The farthest main network tower for Greenville is WVII-TV (ABC), 70 miles away with a very weak estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.
At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.
