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

The farthest main network tower for Lisbon is WMTW (ABC), 35 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

WCBB is only 9.7 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.
